Independent New Zealand Vacations
Independent daily departing vacations - Your choice of ‘Self-Drive’ or ‘Seat-in-Coach’

Independent New Zealand Vacations are flexible, daily departing tours designed for independent travelers who prefer to travel without the structure of a group tour. Modules are unescorted but all travel arrangements are pre-booked for your convenience and ease of travel.This is especially important during the busy summer season.

The additional days you wish to add to extend your stay in any region or to link modules together. (Domestic flights may be required to complete or link modules. These costs have not been included.)

As independence and flexibility are the major advantages of Independent New Zealand Vacations, it is important to note that you will travel with different drivers and passengers of a variety of nationalities each day.

Meal plans are also available to suit individual requirements. Room only for those who wish to make their own arrangements or breakfast can be included (see individual tour pricing). Dinner prices available on application.

Transportation Choices
We are proud to work with two of New Zealand’s premier and Qualmark quality endorsed tourism operators – Maui Rentals and Great Sights.
