New Zealand Family Itinerary

Create life-long memories for your family to treasure as you explore the wonders of New Zealand together.

Flexible Family Tours

Whether you want a tour for just you and the kids, or you want grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins to come along too, we can tailor-make a family vacation just for you. We can mix and match elements of our nature tours, scenic tours and cultural tours to suit your group’s needs.

New Zealand is a Fantastic Family-Friendly Destination

We’re very lucky in New Zealand to be blessed with a homeland full of beautiful places to explore and plenty of interesting things to see and do – making it the ideal family vacation destination.

The diverse New Zealand landscape – steaming geothermal hot pools, majestic mountains, spectacular waterfalls and breathtaking beaches –  will inspire your family to disconnect from their devices and reconnect with each other. 

Give your family the opportunity to encounter New Zealand’s unique Māori culture. Everyone can learn the world-famous haka or taste the distinctive flavours of a hangi. 

Young children and those who love nature will delight in meeting new furry, finned or feathered friends. Watch their young faces light up with joy and wonder as they see dolphins and whales in their natural environment, feed a baby lamb, or even hold a kiwi – New Zealand’s iconic (And very shy) bird.  

Older children and teenagers will be kept happy with a range of adventure activities like rolling down a hill in a giant inflatable ball, ziplining through lush rainforests, hurtling through a river canyon on a jetboat, or racing each other downhill on a luge. 

Adults won’t miss out on all the fun – we can recommend activities such as wine-tasting, bungy jumping and hiking excursions. 

Travelling Around New Zealand with Children 

We know that travelling with children can be challenging, which is why we will do all we can to make it easy for you to enjoy a hassle-free family vacation! We will organise car seats for your tour vehicle, select family-friendly accommodation, and tailor your itinerary to incorporate fun things to do for all ages! 

Our tour account managers and guides know that when you have young children in tow you may need to have regular meal times and frequent comfort stops, so we will create your itinerary to run at a family-friendly pace and keep travelling time to a minimum.

Many family-friendly accommodation options inspire children to enjoy their surroundings. Image supplied by Hapuku Lodge, just north of Kaikōura.

We Know That Every Family Has Different Needs

Over the years, we’ve created many family tours of New Zealand, and our tour account managers have lots of recommendations and ideas for a great family trip. We recognise that every family group is different and we will work with you to design a custom tour to suit you.
