Questions

New Zealand trips: your questions

What happens if the weather closes the road to Milford Sound?

Heavy rain or snow sometimes closes the Milford Road. Day 13 in Queenstown is kept free as a backup, so we move the Milford Sound day to the next day.

Answer for New Zealand: North and South Islands

How fit do I need to be?

An easy level is enough. The longest walk is about 4 km, mostly downhill, through Waimangu Volcanic Valley, with a shuttle bus at the stops if you want to ride part of it. Other days are 1 to 3 hours on foot on paths and boardwalks, with a few steps at Zealandia and Craters of the Moon.

Answer for New Zealand North Island: Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Wellington

I am travelling alone. What does a single room cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 800 more than the shared price. Solo travellers join the same group, tables and activities as everyone else, and we never seat anyone apart at meals. If you would like to share a room with another solo guest, say so when you request to book and we will tell you whether that is possible on your departure.

Answer for New Zealand North Island: Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Wellington

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 6 to 10 guests and one See Sight Tours leader who drives our 12-seat van.

Answer for New Zealand: North and South Islands

How does booking work?

Prices are per person sharing a room, with taxes, and differ by style: small group or private. The small group starts from CAD 4,715 per person. Pick your start date when you request to book, and we confirm your trip within 24 hours. Nothing is charged until then.

Answer for New Zealand North Island: Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Wellington

Do I need a visa for New Zealand?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for a holiday, but must get an NZeTA before flying and pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy with it. Both are applied for online or in the official app. Other nationalities should check the New Zealand Immigration website before booking.

Answer for New Zealand North Island: Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Wellington

When is the best time to go?

November to April, New Zealand's late spring, summer and early autumn. December to March is the warmest and busiest, with higher ferry fares. November and April are quieter and cooler, and snow is possible on the high passes and the alpine crossing.

Answer for New Zealand: North and South Islands

I am travelling solo. What will I pay?

A room of your own costs CAD 1,095 more, the same for everyone travelling alone, and it is shown before you book, not added later. If you would rather share a room, ask us when you request to book.

Answer for New Zealand South Island: Queenstown, Milford Sound and the glaciers

How big is the group, and can a family of six book it?

The small group runs with 7 to 12 guests, children included, which usually means three or four families. A party of six fills half the group, so we suggest a private trip for your family only, on dates you choose, from CAD 11,745 per person, with your own guide and van.

Answer for New Zealand South Island for three generations: Tekapo, Queenstown and Milford Sound

How do I book, and when do I pay?

Pick your start date and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and nothing is charged until then. The small group starts from CAD 5,695 per person sharing, with taxes, and the private trip from CAD 10,250 per person.
