Group tours in New Zealand offer a number of advantages and highlights, making them a popular way to explore this unique country.
One of the main benefits of embarking on a group tour in New Zealand is the opportunity to share the adventure with like-minded individuals. You’ll forge new friendships and create lasting memories as you discover the wonders of this island nation together. There’s nothing quite like meeting your kindred-spirit on the journey of a lifetime, and reminiscing on your time together years later.
Another benefit of taking part in groups tours is the carefully planned itineraries, meaning you can sit back, relax, and know that you’re being taken good care of! Tour providers specialise in creating itineraries to help you make the absolute best from your time in New Zealand, meaning you can fully immerse yourself in the local culture, take part in adventures, and explore the country’s iconic destinations with ease.

New Zealand is beautiful all year round, so it depends what sort of adventure you’re looking for. There is more rainfall in the months between June and August. Between December and March, you’ll have longer days, with bright and sunny conditions, however it will of course be much busier during this period.
You certainly can! Camping is permitted on public conservation land, unless otherwise stated or restricted to self-contained vehicles. The rules in New Zealand regarding campervans differ depending on whether the campervan is classed as ‘self-contained’ or not, so be sure to check out the rules before booking.
New Zealand has been ranked in the top 5 safest countries in the world, so we’d say it’s a pretty safe place to visit and travel around. Plus, unlike its neighbour, Australia, there are less creepy crawlies, and definitely less harmful ones (zero, to be precise).
There are a couple of ways to get around New Zealand, and it totally depends what you’re looking for. Our first recommendation would be to hire a campervan, for complete freedom, flexibility, and to take you off-the-beaten-track. Campervans are arguably the most popular way to travel around New Zealand. Your other option is by bus, namely Kiwi Experience, which will take you to all the most popular destinations, and even help you arrange accommodation. A great way to meet people, see the best bits, and be able to sit back, relax, and take in the stunning scenery.
