The itinerary is down to you, decide what you want to do on the day or let us create a full itinerary including the destination and activities. Your driver/guide knows all the best places to visit, and can take you to places the larger cruise ship tours coaches cant visit.

You could combine a visit to Rotorua with the Hobbiton movie set tours, or go to the Waitomo Glow worm caves.

For that really special day out why note visit one of the world famous 6 star luxury lodges for a memorable lunch, such as Huka Lodge or Treetops.



Like the idea of a Private Tour but there are just a few of you, then why not share the costs, just place a message on our "Tour Share" facility to find others on your ship to join you. You will first need to Register and create a "My Cruise" account. You could also post on sites like Cruise Critic or FaceBook.

What you say ...

It was great to have our own private vehicle with an experienced driver/guide, he took us to places we would not have known existed, such a stress free way to tour, no more cruise ship coach tours for us.
