Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Hi Shelley

Thank you again for all of your help. I really appreciated your prompt responses to all of my email questions - it made me feel like someone was actually listening and cared about my concerns. We had a wonderful trip to New Zealand!

Hi

Some feedback on the Auckland Whale and Dolphin Safari you recommended – WOW! We had a great experience and enjoyed the tour. The guides were awesome and their knowledge was amazing. The Hauraki gulf is so beautiful and the cruise alone was worth it. We saw heaps of dolphins, which was really cool but we were also a little bit disappointed that no whales showed up, but hey ‘them the breaks.

Thanks again

I had my second trip to New Zealand again arranged through First Light Travel. Last year the South Island this year the North Island. Again all was well arranged. One of the many high-lights was a helicopter trip to an active vulcano "white island" on the East Coast. A flight from Rotorua. Great Experience. 

Thank you again Judith.

What a great piece of luck we found on the internet by connecting with First Light Travel and Shelley. Through e:mail and a couple of quick phone calls, Shelley matched our personalities with activities and accommodations that led to a flawless trip of a lifetime to New Zealand. We left New Zealand anxious to return! We highly recommend Shelley and First Light Travel for booking activities and accommodations in New Zealand.

This has been an exceptionally nice vacation. The trick was that our consultant (ms. Verity Paterson) carefully personalized the travel plan and gave us enough room to add or modify what we wanted. We feel that without the plan as prepared we would have missed many worthwhile activities. I highly recommend this service.It was a great value for money.

Hi Verity,

We had the best trip ever!!!!

Our guide, Terry was EXCELLENT! He was so knowledgeable and helpful—a perfect fit for us. We are still basking in the memories of your beautiful country!

Here are a couple of photos—but I took over 1,200, I need time to go through them.

Hi Suzie,

I'd like to give you some ideas I've gained from talking with friends here. They have no idea that one can have a company plan a trip as you did. They seem to think that the only two ways are to take a tour, or do it on your own. They have been surprised about this way of traveling. We had done this for our vacation to Costa Rica, so we knew. I'm not sure how to get the word out, but maybe you need to advertise this as another way to travel.

Thanks for everything. You helped make our 50th wedding anniversary even better.

Truly, our travel agent Chrissy was able to know exactly what kind of adventure we wanted and crafted the perfect itinerary for us. The process was fairly straightforward for booking and the instructions we were given were flawless and simple. We could not have chosen anyone better to help arrange our trip.

We enjoyed three weeks in Middle Earth with our two girls. Thanks to First Light Travel we did not have to worry about a thing. Thanks to the professional organization of Judith we only had to enjoy every minute of our holiday. It was just perfect. We'll be back, that's for sure!
