1. What is there to see?
New Zealand is 'The world in minature'! Depending on your choice of
tour you may experience:
2. How do we travel?
Usually we have only up to six guests on each tour.
Kiwi Dundee Adventures own two deluxe Volkswagon Caravelle mini
coaches and a deluxe toyota mini coach
For larger private group tours we hire a deluxe coach 3. Generally, what age group are your tour guests?
We cater for all ages and varying levels of fitness.Because we have
two other available guides we can 'personalise' our walks and tours..
4. How is Kiwi Dundee Adventures tour different to a coach tour?
The tours offered by Kiwi Dundee Adventures are best described as
"personally guided small group tours" (for groups of up to 6 guests) and
"exclusive private tours" (for a couple or small group travelling together).
The personalisation means you get a variety of extras not possible on a
coach tour. For example, you get to stop at any stage for scenic sights or
photographs or where we stop for lunch etc. The wilderness aspect means you
get to go places that coaches do not visit and along roads that don't accept
heavy vehicles. Our guides converse with you rather than talk at you and
will answer all your questions and explain in as much detail or as little as
you would like.
5. How much driving is there?
On our extended tours, the actual "driving" time is normally
restricted to no more than 45 minutes or so, and stops are made to take
photographs or take a short walk. The idea is not to travel all day but to
allow time to explore locations along the way. Generally, there is usually
only 3-4 hours driving on the "travelling" days. As a comparison a coach
tour will generally travel 5-8 hours per day with strictly regulated time at
each stop.
6. How much walking is there?
As a general rule, "travelling" days include a range of short walks of
up to 45 minutes.While staying at various locations we allow for longer
walks and hikes of around 4 hours. If you are not much of a walker, then the
tour can be varied accordingly. With our exclusive private tours and tailor
made tours, walks and activities can be included to suit the guest's own
personal wishes.
7. Where will we be staying?
We have selected a variety of accommodations to suit our visitors from
luxury Hotels, deluxe homestays or Motor Lodges, depending on our visitors
requirements. All have been chosen for their location, professional and
friendly service.
8. Do we pay for our own food?
Normally, most meals are included in the price you've paid for the
overall trip.We do however leave some nights free for you to choose, as some
enjoy a full menu , but others find after their delightful lunch they only
want an evening snack. We offer a total service package so that there's
little you have to worry about. The trip itineraries show what meals and
snacks are included in your tour package.
9. COMFORT STOPS
We allow plenty of opportunities !
10. Will there be other people on tour?
Kiwi Dundee Adventures tours are designed for small groups of up to
six guests, so yes, there may very well be others on these trips.
Private tours will be just the guests who book the trip exclusively. Tailor made trips are also offered on an exclusive private basis. Please note that we can also guide groups larger than six, particularly large family groups or special interest groups. 11. Will you pick us up ?
Day tours and walks we pick up from Pauanui, Tairua and Whangamata in
the Coromandel Peninsula.
For those staying elsewhere, we meet at the Mobil Service Station at the Pauanui turnoff. Extended tours we pick up from Auckland, Rotorua, or Taupo. 12. What do you suggest we take with us on our tour?
As we include guided walks on our tours, it is advisable to bring
along sturdy walking shoes or boots, and because the weather can produce "4
seasons in one day", we suggest that you bring along a wind proof jacket and
clothes suitable for cooler weather. On the longer tours, it is advisable to
bring along a rain-proof jacket as we usually include a rainforest walk. Our
tour vehicles carry sunscreen and insect repellent for our guests to use,
and we also carry "slicker" coats.
13. What clothes should we wear?
For a start, forget the formal clothes, as New Zealand is a very
relaxed and generally informal destination.. Neat and casual clothes that
are comfortable are more than suitable. Preferably do not wear white clothes
as we will be out in the bush where it can be muddy. Open collared shirts
for men are a good idea as some of the locations where we could stop for
evening meals have what we call a neat-casual dress standard. Comfortable
shoes for walking. For hikers, solid hiking boots are generally excessive
however light weight hiking boots are good. Bring a jacket always - mountain
weather can change rapidly even in midsummer. A hat is also suggested as the
sun can be intense here in New Zealand. |
