New Zealand West Coast Adventure

Tamie · Traveled February 2024
Jef was an amazing tour guide and the West Coast Adventure was truly a memorable vacation. He taught me so much about New Zealand and I walked away with a new appreciation of the culture and country. A life changing trip!

Active New Zealand: Wanaka

Tara · Traveled February 2024
Griff was an amazing tour leader! He was able to accommodate everyone in our group and make everyone feel comfortable. Some activities were a little more intense than others; but we all felt safe with Griff leading the way. He knew so much about the Queenstown/Wanaka area, it's flora and fauna and history. The highlight for me was the Dunstan bike trail - a challenging ride with spectacular views the entire way! The accommodation was comfortable and food was great - especially the included breakfasts!

Premium New Zealand Encompassed

Jonathan · Traveled February 2024
New Zealand - 5 Stars. Wayne (our tour leader) - 5 stars. Intrepid - 2 stars. Coming on this tour you know you are going to be impressed with the scenery, the friendliness of the people and the focus on environmental conservation. You will not be disappointed. The itinerary is good - if a little breathless at times - and if you have the same guide we did you will be guaranteed a wonderful time. The only shadow cast over our trip was due to the lack of care provided by Intrepid. Watch out for “feature stays” being replaced by much lower class accommodation with no notice or compensation. And don’t expect a response if you need to contact them.
