Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Due to First Light Travel we had an amazing experience in New Zealand! They know all the 'ins and outs' and made a package that was perfect for us. A lot of nice outdoor-activities such as kayaking, rafting, horse-riding and exciting hikes.
Our contact with Judith - prior to and during our trip - was perfect.
We'll be back!

Thanks to Shelley and First Light Travel for an amazing holiday in New Zealand! From the start, my experience with First Light could not have been easier. I simply mentioned how long I planned to stay and the types of activities I was looking for and voila! Shelly put together an itinerary that even had a native Kiwi I met on my holiday impressed.

I had an amazing, grassroots experience of this beautiful country filled with adventurous activities and unbelievable views! I highly recommend First Light Travel for anyone considering planning a holiday in New Zealand.

Our visit to NZ would not have been the trip we wanted if we had not used First Light Travel. They showed us the best and most beautiful NZ has to offer visitors. Our holiday experience was everything we thought it would be, and more. We are very grateful.

First Light Travel and Dawn were very helpful. I had a great time in New Zealand; travelling through flat plains, freshly snow-clad mountains, temperate rainforest, along the beautiful West Coast and beaches and over ancient mountains. We sailed under a waterfall in Milford Sound and saw cascades of water tumbling down cliffs after rainfall. The sights were wonderful to behold. I would most definitely recommend First Light Travel to my friends and family – thank you for a fantastic holiday!

We are so glad that we booked our holiday with First Light Travel. Thank you Dawn for preparing such a lovely itinerary and perfectly organising our trip on such short notice. It was a lovely self-drive tour and we highly enjoyed each day as it unfolded. A few highlights include the Waitomo caves, Te Puia and Hobbiton, and the kids loved every bit of the guided two hour mountain biking in Whakarewarewa. Thank you Dawn and First Light Travel – highly recommended!

We had plenty of fun putting together a fishing and hunting holiday for a group of cousins from Australia and New Zealand - it was great to hear how much they enjoyed it.

Thank you for another great holiday - we were all most impressed; especially those of us who were visiting New Zealand for the first time. We had a fantastic time in the South Island and especially loved our fishing and hunting experiences. Looking forward to another visit next year!

Kerre & the ANZACS - Australia

We had a FABULOUS trip around New Zealand. Every activity we did was engaging, interesting and fun. Kasey did a phenomenal job of finding great companies to facilitate our excursions and organizing a trip that allowed us to see the most of New Zealand in our short timeframe. Thank you so much again for all of your great insight and help! -

We had a great experience in New Zealand with First Light Travel. From our initial enquiry, Chrissy took very good care of us - understanding our needs, recommending itineraries, and answering our questions - while our guide Dmitry was awesome! Thanks so much! We will happily recommend First Light to any friends traveling to NZ in the future.

Thank you Jo Taylor and First Light Travel for planning me the Holiday of my life! I gave Jo a brief description of what I was looking for and she gave me an itinerary that was better than anything I had imagined. My trip was just laid out for me, stress free. It was made so easy and beyond enjoyable. Jo Taylor exceeded my expectations. She made my dreams come true and added a few I didn't even know I had! I am so grateful and so happy that I traveled with First Light!
