Which Tour Is Right for You?

Answer five quick questions and we'll match you with the tours that suit you best. It takes less than a minute.

Why Seniors Love Our Tours

All of New Zealand.
None of the Hassle.

Planning a New Zealand holiday yourself means hire cars, driving on mountain roads, booking hotels and working out what's worth seeing. On our tours, all of that is done for you.

🚌
No Driving, Ever

Forget winding alpine roads and unfamiliar towns. Sit back in a comfortable touring coach or scenic train and simply watch the scenery go by.

🕰
A Pace That Suits You

Days are planned with time to linger, plus free days and two-night stays so you can rest, explore at your own speed or simply put your feet up.

🧭
A Guide by Your Side

Your guide knows New Zealand inside out — the stories, the history and the hidden gems — and takes care of every arrangement along the way.

🏨
Comfortable Hotels

Quality, well-located hotels chosen for comfort — no budget motels, and no hunting for your next bed at the end of a long day.

🍽
Meals Taken Care Of

Daily breakfasts plus included lunches and group dinners — from a traditional Māori hāngī to vineyard lunches — so you're never wondering where to eat.

🤝
Like-Minded Company

Travel with people at a similar stage of life. Many guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends — couples, friends and solo travellers alike.

🙋
Great for Solo Travellers

Travelling on your own? You'll have built-in company, a guide to look out for you, and single room options on every tour.

🇦🇺
Australian Support

Book with an Australian business, in Australian dollars, and talk to a real person on a 1300 number — before you go and while you're away.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

How fit do I need to be?
If you can manage a few hours of walking on a sightseeing day, getting on and off a coach, and a few steps, you'll be comfortable on our tours. Most walks are short and at your own pace, and optional activities can always be skipped. Each tour is a little different, so if you have any mobility concerns, call us and we'll help you choose the right one.
I'm travelling on my own — will I fit in?
Absolutely. Solo travellers are a big part of every group, and the small group size means you'll quickly feel at home. Single room options are available on every tour.
Are flights included?
Some of our tours include return flights from Australia — look for the "Flights Included" banner on the tour cards above. For other tours, we're happy to help you with flights to match your tour dates.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
Yes. Just let us know when you book and we'll make sure your requirements are passed on for all included meals.
What's included in the price?
Every tour includes your accommodation, an expert guide, touring transport, the sightseeing and experiences listed, and the meals shown in the itinerary. Each tour page lists exactly what's included.
When do I pay?
A deposit secures your place — the amount varies by tour and we'll confirm it when you book — and the balance is due closer to departure — we'll remind you in plenty of time. Prefer to think about it first? Hold your spot free for 3 days with no payment.
Do I need travel insurance?
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for every traveller, taken out when you pay your deposit.
