Travel from Auckland through to Christchurch on our small group tour, meeting the friendly locals and ticking off those bucket list highlights as you go. Our fully guided Adventure tours include some meals and activities but we leave plenty of room for optional extras so you can make the adventure your own!

Adventure Tours include shared dorm-style (4-8 share) accommodation and adventure plus!

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!
