Hi all,
Last minute plan to NZ
10 Day Trip approx $2500 all inclusive food, flights accom and acitivities included.
The package departs Syd and goes to NZ, Auckland. Spend 3 nights there then doing a 7 day tour of Norht Islands from Auckland to Bay of Islands and to Wellington
The included activities are things like quad biking, zip lining, bungee jumping, parasailing, night kayaking etc etc.
Is this a good price ($2500 10 day trip incl flights, accom, food and activities)? Also, is this a good idea for 2 x 21 year old men?
People are telling me this isn't a good idea and South Islands is better?
I Need to have a decision by midnight Sydney time or the price goes back up ~$450
Thanks all.
Both North and South Island have plenty of things to offer visitors. It's a personal opinion which one's better. To be honest, I prefer the scenery in the South Island more, but I wouldn't recommend you going there right now anyway. A lot of the transport infrastructure is still being assessed for safety and reconstruction since the quake hit a week or so back. In fact some tourist areas such as Kaikoura were completely blocked off.
As for the price tag, $250 a day is not too bad considering everything is included. Can you do it cheaper? Yeah probably, but you'd have to organise all those activities and co-ordinate the travel and timings yourself. So you're paying a little extra for the convenience really. And if those activities don't suite 2 x 21 year olds, then I don't know who they're suited to!
If you do go, I hope you have a good time! :-)
