These tours are more in line with Stray's traditional backpacker product and are jammed packed with activities, and slightly longer than our Select Tours.

 

Adventure Tours include MORE. More activities, more people in your room (ha), more adventure (included activities), and more travel days!

 

Tours include comfortable dorm-style accommodation and daily breakfasts so travellers can budget more easily, and they don't have to worry about peak periods and full accommodations!

 

Trip Treasures:

 

  • Spend two days in paradise as you explore the golden beaches of the Abel Tasman National Park
  • Franz Josef: There's no better way to break the ice with your new Stray Mates than to explore a glacier together! Stay in this "cool" alpine town set in the rainforest near the base of the Franz Josef Glacier.
  • Enjoy four nights in Queenstown including two free days and a one day trip to Milford Sound
  • Stargaze in an International Dark Sky Reserve for some of the brightest stars you’ll ever see!
  • Enjoy a peaceful retreat among the mountains at the Rainforest Retreat
  • Relax in quality accommodation at Haka House Queenstown and Tekapo
  • Enjoy the private pods at the Bealey Quarter complete with it’s own bar
  • Lake Pukaki:This lake is so blue da-ba-di-da-ba-di, you'll struggle to even believe it's real! Take advantage of this photo pit-stop on the way into Tekapo and see if you can spot Mount Cook in the background.
  • Lake Tekapo:Hike up to the Mt John observatory or just stroll around the lakeside Good Shepherd Church, either way you can 'alp' yourself to breathtaking views of snowcapped mountains.
  • Abel Tasman: Walk from Marahau to Anchorage and tick this incredible coastal destination of your bucket list - You lucky son of a beach!
  • Cleopatras Pools:Visit one of Abel Tasman's natural playgrounds on a short walk to Cleopatra's Pool. This water slide totally rocks!
