Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Just back from a whirlwind tour of NZ with First Light and Amelia did an awesome job of reading into levels of activity and accommodations. They all surpassed our expectations. We maybe had a little too much driving but that was our doing as we knew we wanted to “see it all” in only three weeks. Would we do it again. In a heartbeat and Amelia would be our go-to person.

Thank you for the NZ sampler....

Bill & Eva Fraser-Harris - USA

Our trip to the north island of New Zealand was amazing!!! We are so happy with First Light’s services—especially our travel agent Christine. She was very prompt and helpful throughout the entire process. We had a couple unforeseen events occur during the trip and she was there to help however she could. The hotels and excursions were on point for what we told Christine we wanted and were interested in. We plan on using First Light again for our next trip to the South Island!

Bethany Lee & Matthew Griffin - United States of America

Very professional services with all aspects of the trip being, accommodation, transport and activities well organised flowing seamlessly. We took a suggested destination itinerary from the First Light website and matched it to an activities package suggested in another itinerary and consultant Melissa Rauner made it all fit within our suggested budget.

Amelia was great to work with. She listened to what we wanted to do on our trip and planned a great trip for us. I will recommend her to friends who are thinking about travelling to New Zealand.

Amelia at First Light Travel far exceeded our expectations planning our trip. She personalized our trip around our bucket list of going to the Australian Open, NZ fly fishing and a self-drive tour of the North and South islands. What wonderful memories!

Greg & Cindy McMullen – Texas USA

Wow, what a truly amazing experience Jo at First Light Travel put together for our honeymoon. With very little input, other than knowing we wanted to experience the entire island in a 2 week period, she was able to plan a once in a lifetime trip. A trip that met and exceeded all of our expectations. From the wine tours on Waiheke Island and around Nelson, the kayaking and hiking around Abel Tasman, the helicopter ride to the top of a glacier near Queenstown, the stunning beauty of the Milford Sound on a fly/cruise/fly day trip to the round of golf along Lake Wakatipu with The Remarkables as a backdrop.

We cannot recommend Jo and the team at First Light Travel enough. Thank you for the countless memories!

Dear Jo,

We had a great time and really appreciated your support from start to end.

Many thanks again.

Best Regards

From the very first email from FLT offering to work on the itinerary to the whole holiday experience, was the smoothest, most convenient and awesome experience. NZ by itself is the MOST AMAZING place on the planet. With friends at FLT it undoubtedly was a once in a lifetime family holiday.

Thank you First Light Travel! You took the difficult task of arranging two weeks of adventure travel for our group of discerning travelers and provided a safe, fun, and well-designed itinerary for us! We found it the perfect mix of activity and downtime to prevent us from burning out. We drove through both North and South Islands, and had just the right amount of time in between stops and activities. Well done! We couldn't have done this on our own and came close to the amount we packed into such a short time. We are forever grateful!

THANK YOU!

I can not say enough good things about First Light Travel and Chrissy Sun, the planner who assisted me in planning my incredible New Zealand 14-day self-drive adventrue! Being under a time crunch to plan my vacation, Chrissy understood and quickly put my mind at ease. After giving her a vague wishlist of what I would like to see and do, she quickly went to work and planned out all the details. She ensured there were no questions or concerns left unanswered before I was scheduled to depart. Chrissy planned an adventure that covered the North and South Island. It was quite the ambitious schedule, but I knew I was up for the challenge. Some incredible highlights of my adventure were the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves, bungee jumping, tandem skydiving, glacier hiking, wine tours, whale watching, experiencing Maori culture, and that is the tip of the iceberg.

I will definitely book again with First Light Travel and highly recommend them and Chrissy Sun to help you plan your New Zealand adventure!!
