Everyone has their favourites, but in general, these are the most popular:

• Adrenalin lovers will jump for Skydiving in Taupō
• Everyone will enjoy Kayaking Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel White Water, Rafting down the world’s highest commercially rafted waterfall in Rotorua!
• Take on the world’s best one-day hike: the unforgettable Tongariro Crossing

The Operator would suggest no more than one activity per location. If there is time, you can always book more activities whilst on tour.

Your guide will supply a continental breakfast each morning of your tour. This will consist of cereal, toast, tea, coffee and juice.

Lunches and dinners are at your own expense. The guides know the best places in each town and city, depending on your budget and what you are after, and they will point these out on the way into each location. Some nights the tour group may choose to cook a meal together. You will head to a supermarket to get everything and then cook as a group at the hostel. Whoever joins in splits the cost, and it usually costs about NZD 10 per person. It's a fun, social and cheap dinner.

Likewise, the tour group and guide often head out to a local pub for a beer and a meal. Meals can range from $15 upwards. In summer, it's not uncommon to have a BBQ washed down with a few drinks.

Yes – the Operator often hosts vegetarian/vegan guests, and all cafes and restaurants in New Zealand offer these options. If you can’t see any on the menu, just ask, as most places will happily prepare something for you.

The Operator has guests in their late teens to their mid 60’s, but the average age is between 25–45. More important than age is an attitude, and they have found over the years that if you have a thirst for adventure, then age is no barrier.

Please keep in mind, though, that a reasonable fitness level is required. The minimum age for joining a tour is 18 years old. Sometimes the group may head out to a bar where everyone needs to be 18 years old, and New Zealand has strict alcohol policies.
