'Why Travel New Zealand with Down Under Travel?'

010.jpg

We are a small family operated company with over 40 years dedicated experience in Tourism in New Zealand.

We offer an exciting alternative to mass Tourism as provided by the larger coach touring companies. (Large groups of forty something people, many one night stands, early morning starts, long daily distances and driving right past sights and experiences which make up the very essence of Aotearoa New Zealand are 'par for the course' for these large touring companies.)

In complete contrast to this, Down Under Travel brings you:

  • Small group numbers (a maximum of sixteen people on each journey).
  • Two night stays in the Hokianga, Rotorua, the West Coast of the South Island, Queenstown, Te Anau, Dunedin and the Mt Cook Region (This will vary slightly depending on which journey you choose to take with us).
  • Leisurely morning starts and easy traveling.
  • We will take you to view not only the major scenic highlights but also to places you never dreamed existed.

Taking the time to go off the beaten track is not an afterthought for us. It is an integral part of what we believe, that you the traveler to these Islands, truly deserves.

We are totally committed to bringing you the very best of what this remarkable country has to offer

  • The most comprehensive included excursions and sightseeing offered by any tour company. (This pertains to our "Extraordinary New Zealand" tour Programme)
  • Many opportunities to meet and mix with New Zealanders from all walks of life and to immerse yourself in the rich and vibrant culture of the Maori people.
  • Our small group numbers and unhurried itineraries give ample time for photography and the hidden gems that New Zealand possesses in abundance.

       Whether you are an experienced or novice traveler we guarantee:

  • To provide you with not only a leisurely vacation, but also a complete in-depth experience of the physical beauty and the cultural diversity of New Zealand.
  • We will make sure that you will not miss those sights and experiences that so exemplify this land.
  • You will not only truly 'get your feet on the ground' but you will also be assured of an informative, relaxed and intimate journey in Aotearoa.
  • And all this at an amazingly competitive price.
