Getting There & Getting Home

This trip begins in Auckland on New Zealand’s North Island. Because this is a long international journey with a significant time difference, we recommend that you arrive at least one day prior to Day 1 to rest from your travels and begin the trip refreshed. For guests who come in early, recommended hotels will be included in your pre-departure materials.

If you plan to arrive on Day 1, you must arrive in Auckland by 4 pm in order to join your group for the welcome dinner.

At the trip’s completion, you will be transferred to the airport for a flight to Dunedin in anticipation of the start of your New Zealand Nature Explorer tour.

Our Natural Habitat Adventures Travel Desk can best assist with your travel reservations, as our staff is familiar with the specific requirements of this program and can help arrange the most efficient itinerary. Please call us at 800-543-8917. While we offer the best available rates to us on airfare and additional nights’ accommodations, you may occasionally find special web rates or lower fares online.
