New Zealand Tours for Senior TravelersThe best trips to this bucket list destination

Discover New Zealand as a senior traveler

New Zealand is a popular destination for older travelers, who are drawn to its dramatic landscapes, tranquil escapes and reliable weather. As a pricier destination, it's also one that is best visited later in life, when travelers are more likely to be able to fully immerse themselves in this incredible country. By booking a group tour to New Zealand, you can make your money go even further, with all of your accommodation, activities, transportation and more packaged together - allowing you to enjoy a cost-effective, hassle-free trip to New Zealand with like-minded travelers from around the English-speaking world.

Frequently asked questions

How many days do you need to tour New Zealand?

Our longest tour in New Zealand is 23 days, and this allows for comprehensive touring of both the North and South Islands. It is possible to explore both islands on an express tour of 10-12 days but you won't be able to see everything! If you are short on time, then we do offer 10 - 12 tours taking in just the North or South islands, it's really up to you!
