You can't go wrong choosing Haka Tours to introduce you to New Zealand (or show you things you've never seen, if you've been there before). Well organized from the first click on their website months before the tour until the last moment I spent in their company. Fun and friendly staffers both at the office and on the tour (and running their lodges dotted throughout NZ). Had many amazing experiences on my 24 day "epic" adventure with them - a bunch were included in the tour price. Their optional add-ons are all the ones you'd want to do, and they work with great vendors to make these a lot of fun and to get the most for your money. Saw firsthand how by maintaining good relationships with these 3rd party vendors sometimes gave Haka tour guests priority over others at the same venue (and sometimes even our own private adventures!) There was a lot of flexibility built into the tour, as well as time to do things on your own. If you are fortunate enough to be on a tour with Daz as your guide, you are in for the time of your life! A native Kiwi (the whole operation is NZ owned and operated), Daz knew things and took us places that I imagine other tours would miss, and these were some of the most memorable times on the tour. And he's delightful as hell, and juggled all of the personalities on the bus like a master. I'm sure all of their guides are great, but I am partial to this particular charmer. This tour far exceeded my gigantic expectations in every way. I'd give 25 stars if that were an option.
