Great trip, great guide, great activities. Hotels and make-your-own breakfast might turn others off.

The New Zealand MultiSport was all it could be even though there were a number of optional adventures there was not time for and we had some cancelled due to weather (as G Adventures advised before we left home). I would love to see G Adventures offer a New Zealand MultiSport II that offers a similar type of very active travel but goes to places that MultiSport I did not. I bet our CEO James McNicol could put together such a tour and then G Adventures send the invite to all who haver done the first MultiSport tour!!!

De gids vond ik soms een beetje te enthousiast, soms bijna ergerlijk. Een minpuntjeis zeker het gebrek aan flexibiliteit in de planning. Er kan blijkbaar niet van afgeweken worden.
