Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Jo,

We just wanted to drop you a note to thank you again. Our experience at the Watermark Studio Apartment was a highlight of our holiday in New Zealand. The floors were beautiful, the bed was comfortable, and the matching lounge chairs were great for relaxing reading while drinking some Waiheke wine from Man O’ War vineyards. The wall of glass has such a great ocean and coastline view that we were glad we kept our day of island adventure short. Every so often we would stop, glance at the picturesque scene, and savor the experience. It was such a wonderful place to relax in such a gorgeous country. While it may seem funny to some, another highlight was the breakfast. Thanks for the fresh kiwi!

Not sure if you are interested in our pictures, but here are just a few. Amy took the one of the wooden bench with an iPhone. It tops all the photos I took with my fancy Canon SLR! It’s going on our wall along with many others.

Warm regards,

“It was really like being on a paradise island and was so natural with almost no people, no stores! If people want to de-stress from city life, they should definitely go there!” “After hiking the island for about two hours I just laid down in the grass, listened to the ocean and the birds for some time – what could be better!” We just got back from ‘paradise island’ - Tiritiri Matangi. This wildlife sanctuary is located only 30km from Auckland in the Hauraki Gulf. Anne had gone for an early morning walk at 5am and spotted one of the rare kiwi’s situated on the island!

Our experience with First Light Travel has been wonderful. The arrangements were made with very little effort on our part, but the information provided by our consultant, Verity in the itinerary meant there was no question about what we were doing and when. The advice provided pointed us to experiences we didn't even know existed. The two weeks we spent in New Zealand was an amazing experience and a memorable holiday.

Shelley with First Light Travel did an AMAZING job planning the perfect honeymoon. She listened to us describe our favorite activities and goals for the trip, and planned the perfect combination of fun, relaxation, and adventure. It was such a perfect trip and First Light made it easy!

Dear Kasey

We’d both like to say a BIG thank you for arranging a great itinerary which gave us such a great insight in so many ways into two fantastic countries. Truly a holiday of a lifetime and memories to last forever!

Our tour guides and drivers were first class. Courteous, helpful and extremely efficient, ensuring that we experienced the very best out of our holiday.

Kevin and Monica on our New Zealand tour were fantastic in every way. All our confirmations of shuttles/transfers/flights were all handled perfectly and we would recommend AAT Kings to anyone travelling to Australia and New Zealand.

The trip was a resounding success and may we say again Thank you for helping us enjoy such a fantastic holiday.

Best Wishes

"The Hot Air Balloon ride over Queenstown with champagne breakfast was a first time for both of us, and the views were stunning!"

'Nieuw-Zeeland heeft aan al onze verwachtingen voldaan! Het veelzijdige land heeft ons verrast, ontroerd, verbaasd en bovenal ontzettend veel moois laten zien! Een 'road trip by camper' om nooit meer te vergeten!

Groetjes,

Jurian Heerink & Kitty Schrijver - Netherlands

“Onze reis naar Nieuw Zeeland om onze wensen uit te laat komen voor een gezamenlijk afgesproken prijs viel bijna om, omdat geen enkel reisbureau aan onze wensen ten opzichte van prijs kon voldoen. Toch bleven we volhouden dat het moest kunnen en met nog 1x een druk op de knop via onze grote zoekmachine ''Google'', kwam First Light Travel tevoorschijn die wel onze uitgezochte verblijven, excursies en auto kon regelen voor de prijs die wij in ogen hadden. De auto was helemaal top, de verblijven met keukenfaciliteiten werden alsmaar groter, luxer en mooier en de excursies waren al helemaal zoals wij ons hadden voorgesteld.”

Ons commentaar: First Light travel en Judith Pohn, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ;-) Bedankt voor het perfect verzorgen van deze reis.

Groet Joost, Ronald en Jill!

Hi Chrissy,

I am not much of a writer. All I can say that the views are fantastic and North and South islands are very different but both very beautiful . We enjoyed the trip very much.

Hi Kasey,

 We were totally satisfied with our experience working with you and First Light. Planning the trip was easy. You offered great suggestions and were flexible in helping us tailor the trip to our interests and schedule. Bookings were smooth, and whenever we showed up at a new hotel or event, everything went just as planned, without a hitch. 

Overall, we could not have been happier with our visit to New Zealand and the superb service you and First Light provided in making it such a positive experience. Thank you, and feel free to use my comments any way you choose. 

Sincerely, Bill and Donna Miles, Annapolis, Maryland, USA
