New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

Hi Jo,

We had a wonderful holiday. Your itinerary was fabulous and all accommodation was brilliant. In particular we loved the Hotel in Dunedin and also the apartment in Lake Taupo. The glow worm tour on Charleston (we upgraded to the river float) was awesome.

I would thoroughly recommend using this First LIght Travel for travelling through NZ. It was great to have everything booked and be able to just follow the itinerary each day.

Many thanks

My wife and I have used First Light for 2 week trips to both Australia and New Zealand and had a great time. We felt the itinerary maximized our time and let us still have enough time to explore on our own. I highly recommend using them for trips to AUS/NZ.

We had a fabulous time in Fiji, all thanks to Amelia and First Light Travel. The planning of our holiday was very well organized & hassle-free. We travelled to Beachcomber island resort and had a wonderful & relaxing holiday there. The most special part of our holiday was that we made this trip with our one year old naughty baby which made our stay memorable and heartwarming. A holiday to remember for a lifetime. This is my second fantastic holiday with First Light Travel and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a holiday to the south pacific region.

Sofie from First Light Travel was amazing. She was extremely helpful in recommending different activities and fine tuning the trip to be exactly as we had hoped. There were places recommended by First Light Travel that we would never have found on on our own and these places provided the most amazing experiences.

Hi Sofie,

Thank you again for all the work you did to provide a great experience for us. It was a shame about the weather, now we will have to come back. I will definitely call you to arrange our time here. It is a pity that First Light Travel doesn’t do travel in other countries, as I would have loved to use your service for each country we travel to in the future! You have my highest praise. First light travel is so fortunate to have you.

Best regards

Hi Rhodri,

Our trip definitely exceed our expectations - This was the best trip of our entire lives!!! All of our friends and family can't stop talking about our amazing pictures. Thank you so much for planning everything - It was truly perfect. The quality of all the hotels was amazing, and the quality of the excursions and guides was INCREDIBLE! We seriously think we had the best of everything.

Working with you was super easy. I feel like you knew exactly what we wanted and planned the perfect trip. We hope we can plan another trip with you soon and come back with our families. We just love New Zealand!

This was a high school graduation trip for me and my 18 year old son. He has never been overseas, so we were very excited to have the opportunity to go to New Zealand. After a search on the Internet for travel agencies, we found First Light Travel and they were such a big help in organizing our trip. Si Si Li worked the schedule to fit our plans, and she was warm, friendly person to work. We had no idea about the extent of the earthquake damage on the South Island, and she re-routed us so that we would not take a route along closed roads. With the assistance of FLT, we traveled from Auckland to Queenstown in 11 days and the pace was just right for us. It was an awesome trip and I hope we can come back to visit again soon.

We just arrived home today from our amazing holiday in NZ. Wow! What a fantastic experience. There is no doubt that our travel consultant, Chrissy Sun, made our trip such a memorable holiday. The accommodation was faultless, the activities suited my family, she answered every single question and our first international holiday as a family ran so smoothly. I have, and will continue to, recommend Chrissy and First Light Travel. We can't thank you enough!!

First Light Travel was amazing. We found it by searching New Zealand itineraries and found they could do private tours for groups. Our extended family of 12 had a fabulous time! Everything Sofie recommended was beyond our expectations! We had 2 great drivers and lots of time to do what we wanted yet not waste time getting lost. We saved a couple extra days at the end to rent a car and adventure on our own which was perfect!! I can't say enough wonderful things about Sofie and this travel company!
