It is always difficult to imagine what can be done in the absence of information. Therefore we have presented here a number of example itineraries. These can be used for reference, as a starting point, or simply for interest. Over the years we have developed a very wide range of unique options. These have been developed usually on request by a client. For example, one self-drive client requested a day for his wife with a local weaver while he went salt water fly fishing with another specialist. This request allowed us to source the best individuals in those respective areas, evaluate them, receive client feedback, and add them to our line-up.
So if you have any particular aspects of this country you would like to explore, let us know. In the meantime feel free to browse and see what other travellers have enjoyed.
For ease of navigation we have cost-coded the itineraries below:
$ - traditional 4-star with some extraordinary moments
$$ - traditional 5-star with a number of extraordinary moments
$$$ - 5-star + with many extraordinary moments
On request we can and have put together trips with no budget limit. These have ranged from heli-itineraries where the everyday mode of transport is a helicopter (usually NZ$100k+) through to small group tours with exclusive use of properties, exclusive activities, private jets, and so on.
