New Zealand :: Backpacker Tours

What's it like in New Zealand?

New Zealand.pngNew Zealand is quite simply a traveller’s dream country.  Consisting of 2 small islands – the North Island and the South Island, the manageable size and diversity of New Zealand has everything to make this an almost unbeatable trip highlight for any backpacker.

The extraordinary geography of New Zealand has created some awesome scenery. Think of volcanoes, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, rainforests, beaches and crater lakes.  In fact, think of the back drops in the Hollywood blockbuster movie, "The Lord Of The Rings", and you have New Zealand.

Extremely well-known as the world capital for adrenalin sports, New Zealand will not disappoint even the most avid thrill-seeker with its range of options for rip-roaring adventure.  Jump outside your comfort zone and get your heart racing with bungy jumping, canyon swinging, zorbing, white-water rafting, climbing, abseiling, snowboarding, and much, much more.

Alternatively, take in the more tranquil side of New Zealand, relax and unwind with a sailing trip in the Bay of Islands (often compared to the beautiful Australian Whitsunday Islands), or explore New Zealand’s natural heritage in some of the 14 untamed National Parks.

New Zealand offers many great options for backpackers and is famous for its high standard of hostel accommodation.  If you’re on a time-limit, we can get you around both islands in 2 weeks, showing you all the highlights and delights on offer.  However, if time is plentiful take a while, and choose a more flexible option.  Contact us, and we can guide you through your choices and help you to plan your trip to New Zealand.
