Focus this week is on NZ as we have many NZ members and until borders open, when we too can take advantage of these, hopefully the Kiwis can check them out first. A small country with so many things to see and do from the untamed wilderness to the rich culture. It is easy to get around and the Kiwis are known for their friendliness.
In NZ we have some very interesting self drive tours. These are aimed at those who want a special experience. They vary but have a number of additional inclusions to add to the experience.
Food and wine tours both in the North & South Islands and as both islands produce stunning world renowned wines you can’t go wrong with either or both of the tours. Then we also have the Glamping experience with luxury resorts where you are deeply immersed in the pristine, beautiful and wild beauty of New Zealand – Pure New Zealand! These can be tailored to suit your own programme, where you want to go and for as long as you wish. The tours on our website are just examples and you might want to stay a little longer in some places, or maybe never leave! The rental cars are included in the cost. For our Kiwi members, the car cost can be removed.

New Zealand is also known for it’s 5 star luxury boutique style lodges and guest houses to offer a special experience. There are many of them throughout New Zealand and our small selective list offers special value for TIC members. Like the tours, these can be tailormade to suit your requirements. You can make your own experience with an unique tour or you could just do a flop and drop. Anything is possible and we can help you design these.

I will be checking out the Indian Pacific next week and will report on that experience on my return. Meantime we have some special rates on the Indian Pacific which is rail only (as well as the packages we have previously advised).


Departures in March from $2309 p.p. – see this on our website.
