Overview
Choose FlexiToursNZ for a smaller group. We put less seats in our vehicles than factory standard and only 3 seats in the back row. Pay a little more to be comfortable. This tour involves a lot of driving and is more enjoyable if you are comfortable and not crushed up
against other people on the vehicle. We keep the groups small with no more than 12 people on our vehicle, meaning our drivers can and will give you, personal service.
Check out our reviews to see what customers say about us, our vehicles and our team of experienced and enthusiastic drivers.
All meals provided on the tour are prepared in a professional kitchen and are normally served in a restaurant or café.
Very occasionally Meals may be served picnic style.
Our ONE WAY TOURS enables you to start and or finish in either Auckland or Rotorua. Please note, our luggage allowance is the standard airline (1x 23kg and 1x carryon).
