Why plan your private tour of New Zealand with us
As proud Kiwis and adventure travel veterans, the team at New Zealand Trails is the authority on New Zealand trip planning and small-group tours. We’re a petite powerhouse, locally owned and operated with decades of industry and outdoors experience. Above all else, we know New Zealand and love introducing guests to the iconic scenery and also the lesser-known gems.
Between us we’ve walked each track and trail, discovering the unique places and journeys which our stunning little country has to offer, and we’ve put them together into tours that create lasting memories. We know the best walks and hikes, the best bike trails, the best waterways to paddle a kayak, the best place to swim with dolphins and the best beaches to watch the sunset over the ocean. There’s so much more to share, but we don’t want to give away all our secrets just yet.
It’s safe to say that you’ll enjoy the benefits of all our wisdom, knowledge and experience on your very own private tour of New Zealand!
How do our private tours of New Zealand work?
Combining vast local knowledge with our understanding of what travellers need, we’ve created incredible New Zealand itineraries, carefully crafted so that you and your group can make the most of your time in New Zealand.
When you choose a private tour, you get to select which of our itineraries you and your group would most enjoy. It can be a tough choice, but our New Zealand travel experts will help you decide which trip is best suited to the needs of your group. We’ll take care of all the details every step of the way, keeping things simple and hassle-free for you and ensuring your private trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
Typically, our small groups are made up of between 10 to 14 people, consisting of couples, friends, families and solo travellers. On a private tour, you’ll get to enjoy the real New Zealand experience with just the members of your group.
You’ll be led by one or two of our stellar Kiwi super-guides (depending on your group size) whose wealth of outdoors experience, combined with their infectiously fun presence and innate sense of hospitality means that you’ll not only be safe in New Zealand’s rugged backcountry but also entertained and well-fed!
Can I make changes to the itinerary?
We’re confident that you’ll love the places we visit on our itineraries and probably won’t want to make many changes, but we’re very flexible, and when it comes to private tours, the world (or New Zealand in this case) is your oyster!
