Accommodation Details
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. Meals Due to our intensive adventure itineraries we include breakfast and lunch everyday, and dinner when we are in more remote locations. We have designed our adventure trips to allow a good amount of freedom during the evenings for you to try local restaurants either independently or as a group. Please advise in full of any dietary requirements. 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 & Flights! On international flights baggage is usually limited to 44lbs/20kg. 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. Travel insurance Travel insurance is compulsory for all adventure holiday bookings. We recommend Dogtag and World Nomads as award-winning insurers for action minded travellers. Your insurance policy document is as important as your passport and should be carried with you on tour. If you have arranged your own travel insurance cover, please ensure that you take your policy document (or a copy of the actual policy document) with you, as your tour leader will ask to see this at the start of the trip. Your documentation must show evidence that you are the named policy-holder and that the cover is valid for your period of travel. The documentation must also indicate that you have cover for at least Medical Expenses and Emergency Repatriation. Please ensure that a 24-hour contact telephone number for your Insurance Company is stated on your documentation in case of emergency. Travel with Adventure Junkies is not possible without valid insurance, and time is not available for this to be organised on the day the tour starts. There will be no refund should you not have a policy. What to Bring: * Personal clothing for the trip, including water proof jacket and trousers. As well as enough warm clothes to handle bad weather, and several changes of socks; * Sturdy foot wear for the day hikes and soft shoes or sandals for the kayaking; * Swim suit or shorts and towel for swimming; * Hat and sunscreen for UV protection; * Insect repellent, camera, drink bottle; * Day pack for biking and hiking trips.
