Here is a comprehensive selection of  popular New Zealand guided coach tours to the country's many scenic and cultural delights.

These New Zealand coach tours offer quality hotels, optional meal plans and comfortable coach travel by ultra modern touring coaches.  With a comprehensive range of convenient departure dates throughout the year, you can choose a time to suit your schedule.

These escorted coach tours are a great way to see and enjoy New Zealand at an easy pace and represent good value for money. They depart either Auckland or Christchurch on set departure dates. Your driver/guide will be your escort and you will be travelling in ultra modern, superbly appointed touring coaches.

"Hotels with hospitality" feature in every itinerary. All rooms have a private bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities and most have television, direct dial telephone and radio. In the main cities, hotels are located within a few minutes' walk of the downtown areas. In resorts with 2 night stops, shopping and sightseeing activities are close at hand.

New Zealand Dining

Optional meal plans are offered and recommended. Over 90% of travellers purchase the full meal plan, which includes dinners and breakfasts. Please refer to the pricing panel featured with each tour. The Breakfast Supplement includes full cooked breakfast and the Dinner Supplement includes either table service with selections from a 3 course menu or buffet style.

All tours offer New Zealand's favourite sightseeing activities. Details of these inclusions are shown in each itinerary. Sightseeing is prebooked so you don't have to queue for tickets or risk missing out.

All the touring coaches are ultra modern, superbly appointed and fully air-conditioned to ensure comfortable travelling. Large vista windows, armchair-style seating, ample leg room, the latest in stereo and public address systems and air bag suspension all combine to make sure you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

As well as professional driving skills and an in-depth knowledge of New Zealand, your Coach Captain will advise on optional activities. Each Coach Captain is allocated his own coach so they take great pride in ensuring they are always superbly presented.

The travel kit includes a travel bag, distinctive ticket wallet containing your itinerary, hotel list, baggage labels, all necessary vouchers, maps and sightseeing information. This will be available at the beginning of your tour.

The itineraries outlined below are featured on a "terminal to terminal" basis. Should you require airport transfers and accommodation before and after your Kirra Tour, please let us know and we will be pleased to make arrangements for you. 

You can extend your stay at the gateway cities before and after your tour, using the special hotel rates below.  Please note that single travellers choosing the share twin option will be booked single rooms for pre and post tour accommodation.

We recommend that you use smaller, lighter, and therefore more manageable luggage rather than large, cumbersome pieces. Each item should weigh no more than 20kg. Baggage handling/porterage is included in your tour.

We use one of the few companies who recognise the very special Christmas and New Year festivities by hosting a Cocktail Party for all tour members. The hotels offer special menus and the tour company covers any additional cost for those with the Dinner Supplement included.

All itineraries can be broken into modules to suit your specific needs. Many travellers break their journey to visit friends or to enjoy other activities such as the Milford Track Guided Walk before rejoining a later tour. These arrangements are easily made at the time of booking and no cost surcharges are imposed.

A Coach Tour Holiday is ideal if you are travelling alone; a great opportunity to meet other people and make new friends. Travellers are made up of couples and single travellers from all age groups and walks of life. You will be welcome. 

Rooming Options: Choose either the guaranteed single room option or request twin share in which case you will be matched with another traveller of the same gender or if this is not possible provide a single room at no extra cost. Compatability can not be guaranteed and this offer is conditional on acceptence of this factor and not smoking in your bedroom regardless the hotel's policy.

Travellers on a request twin share basis may secure a single room whilst on tour, subject to availability and payment of the applicable surcharge. 

Pre and post tour accommodation must be at the single price.

For 3 people booking together and sharing the same room a 5% discount applies to the tour content. Pre and post tour prices are readily available on request. Please note most room configurations are double or twin in which case the third bed is likely to be a rollaway. Four adults sharing is not possible.

Children are most welcome. A New Zealand coach holiday is a great learning and family fun opportunity. Children's costs are based on sharing a room with 2 adult fare paying passengers or one paying the single surcharge, and must be on the same meal basis.
