Ready to book a trip?
We’re delighted you’re thinking about joining one of our trips! Our trips don't include international flights, so it's a good idea to hold some seats if possible, and book your flights as soon as you receive confirmation from us. Keep in mind frequent flier miles can be quite tricky to redeem as these seats are very limited, especially at peak season (December-February) so call early and often if you’re hoping for free seats or an upgrade. If you're looking for flights from North America, you might try Down Under Answers in Seattle on 1-800-889-1464. DUA is very good at finding decent airfares, on account of the large volume of US-New Zealand and US-Australia flights they book. We don't take commission from them, so certainly shop around, but tell them we referred you as they offer our clients a substantial discount.
Check availability first!
The fastest way to check if the trip you want is available is to call us at 1.800.661.9073 if you’re in the US, or at +64 3 450 0414 from anywhere in the world. Otherwise simply fill out the form below and we’ll get right back to you.
Then booking is easy!
Once you submit your form, we'll get in touch with you by phone or email to let you know whether there is still space available on the trip of your choice. We'll also ask you about which options you'd like (for instance, if you're looking at the Rimu trip, whether you'd like to do the hiking, kayaking or biking option). From there, booking is easy!
- We’ll email you a confirmation with the word “BOOKING” in the subject.
- Go to the “Booked?” page, which will guide you through everything you need before your trip begins.
- Fill out an online pre-trip questionnaire.
- Print out a contract and mail a signed copy to our US office with a cheque for a deposit of US$500 deposit per person. Please note your deposit is not refundable and not transferable to another departure date. We’ll invoice you for the balance 60 days prior to departure, or 100 days prior for a Manuka trip. If your trip starts within 60 days (or 100 days for a Manuka), full payment is due now.
We’re really looking forward to meeting you!
