Something for everyone
It can be a bit fiddly trying to plan a trip that caters for all the members of your family. We’ve heard it described in the past as ‘trying to herd cats’, but that’s where a New Zealand Trails trip saves the day.
There’s something for everyone on our trips (yes, even Uncle Gerald). From hiking, mountain biking and underground rafting, to wine tasting, scenic flights and boat cruises. We’re incredibly flexible and we’ll make sure there’s an activity to keep everyone happy, whether they’re 21 or 71!
We've got no shortage of awesome activities for your New Zealand family holiday!
While you might enjoy a few different activities during the day, you’ll be around the table enjoying a delicious meal together in the evenings – laughing, telling stories and creating those all-important family memories. A New Zealand Trails family tour strikes the ideal balance between spending quality time together and getting to do something you’ll all enjoy. A recipe for success and your perfect New Zealand family vacation!
How does it work?
You can choose which of our five different New Zealand itineraries work best for your group. All our tours are very flexible, but we’ll happily discuss the options and point you in the right direction if you’re not sure which one suits your family best.
Our groups typically head out with between 10 to 14 people on board, made up of couples, friends, families and solo travellers. If you’re a small family or it’s just you and your grown-up child, then we recommend joining one of our existing groups. You’ll have plenty of quality time together as a family, but you’ll also get the benefits of joining a small group of like-minded travellers to explore together. Experience has taught us that everyone gets on very well and there’s lots of fun to be had.
New Zealand is one giant playground for family fun, no matter your age.
If you’re a larger family group, we can run a private trip for you and fully customise it to suit your every need.
Will my teenagers and grown-up kids have fun?
How could they not?! This is New Zealand and even the most demanding of teenagers have been known to crack a smile on our trips.
Our incredible guides are highly skilled at not only leading groups in the outdoors, but also in making people laugh, understanding group dynamics and creating a good time wherever they go. Whether it’s toasting marshmallows around the fire as the sun sets over the ocean, setting up a backyard game of cricket, swimming with dolphins or challenging your teenager to a race, they’re all about enjoying the moment and will work hard to ensure that each member of your group does as well.
Adventurous youngsters and brooding teenagers alike have plenty to rave about on our trips - and so do parents, of course!
Because our trips are so flexible, they appeal to a wide range of ages and we often have families with older children, teenagers or grown-up kids on board. We also get parents travelling with their college-age offspring on celebratory graduation trips. It’s a fantastic way to reward all their hard work and take a memorable trip together that you’ll both enjoy.
We work together to find a trip that has similar ages on board, so that the younger generation have a chance to make new friends, as well as spend time with you in the great New Zealand outdoors.
