All-Inclusive

It’s important to note that our prices ALWAYS include 15% GST (Goods & Services Tax), which the New Zealand Government requires all businesses to charge.

Our standard pre priced tours are all inclusive from the time you step off the plane on day 1 until the last day of your tour, as outlined in the trip itinerary. These tours include all meals as listed in the tour itinerary*, as well as all activities, transport and boat transfers. This means that there are no hidden or unexpected costs, which ensure that our guests have a no hassle vacation.

Here’s a list of what’s included and what what’s not included in a standard pre-priced itinerary:

  • Expert leadership from experienced adventure guides

  • Accommodations (or a similar level) as noted in the itinerary

*Our standard pre-priced tours do not include one or two dinners/lunches during the trip to give guests flexibility and to have a break from group meals. Most guests appreciate this flexibility during a tour.
