Accommodation Details

Accommodation stated in the Itinerary.

We have chosen well-appointed quality New Zealand accommodation for our guests, aimed at being both comfortable and memorable. These will be en-suite rooms, generally at lodges and private units. We stay away from larger branded chain hotels and where possible stay with locally owned businesses as part of our dedication to responsible tourism. Prices are based on twin share, and should you be travelling alone, you will, where available be paired with somebody of the same sex. Single supplements are available to accommodate you privately where possible, but due to some of our accommodation being in remote locations, some options may not be available from time to time, especially with later bookings. One nights camping is included in Doubtful Sound with all equipment provided.

Fitness Requirements: A good standard of fitness is required to fully participate and enjoy this NZ Adrenalin tour. The full day rock climbing and overnight sea kayaking are the most strenuous parts of this particular adventure tour. Other activities such as rafting and mountain biking are also demanding.

Transport
A variety of transport is used throughout our adventure tours in order to facilitate the activities and includes helicopters, light aircraft, buses and boats. Adventure Junkies make every effort not to deviate from the proposed itinerary, however travel changes brought about by weather, politics, schedule changes or road and track conditions, although rare, are a possibility and out of our control. We cannot be held responsible for any such changes but will aim to minimise disruption and changes in such circumstances.

Baggage will need to be limited during the ten days on the road to one backpack/rucksack per person no larger than 75 litres in size, and one daypack no larger than 25 litres in size. Hard suitcases are not appropriate for trips of this nature. Extra baggage can be shuttled from Christchurch to Queenstown by our guides with advanced notice for a fee of approx $60.

Group Size
We have a responsible attitude towards tourism. We are dedicated to only taking small groups in an effort to minimise some of the negative impacts that large tourists groups can bring to New Zealand, and have a maximum group size of 9. Groups are dynamic in their make up, typically including individuals, friends travelling together and couples. Adventurous travellers from several countries and many walks of life will usually make up an interesting and diverse group.
