Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Fabulous holiday, would definitely do it again and recommend you to anyone who asks!

Matthew Quigley – Philippines

The trip was great – I requested a lot of activities over a short amount of time – many required complicated logistical support and would have been a nightmare for me to set up remotely. The logistics all worked with minor exceptions, and you were available to help us when we asked for help.

When I wanted to add a week in Australia to our tour of New Zealand I was referred to Kasey Yee at First Light travel. She asked me how long we wanted to be in Australia, where we wanted to go and how much we wanted to spend. She totally nailed it. From the wonderful lodging and the great excursions, we saw enough of Australia in our short one week to wet our appetite for future trips. While we are generally not city people my husband really wanted to go to Melbourne, we had no idea how big a city it was. The most delightful tour of our whole trip was the Hidden Secrets Tour of Melbourne where we were given an insider's introduction to the city and its charming arcades and shops. We explored so many things in our short trip. We saw the animals of Australia, a penguin parade, a rainforest, the 12 Apostles, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Sydney Opera House. It was all a little exhausting but it was fabulous.

Dear Shelly

We are still jetlagged and drag ourselves to work each day…? It is hard to get motivated. But we have to. The trip was very good. We are happy with your communication and organization of the trip. We think this was a great way of doing it and all was clearly detailed in the travel arrangements. I would do this way again as it was very well mapped out.

We had a great journey. We will come back to you soon .

Kind regards, Sabine

Thanks to First Light and especially to Amelia - who guided us in advance and along the journey. It has been the best weeks of the last 20 years. We will come back again with First Light as soon as possible!

Love love love First Light Travel. Deb Evans was fantastic. Very responsive, trip was so well planned, and information provided was thorough. I can’t wait to return to NZ!

Lisa Norwood & Katrina Martin – Texas USA

We are frequent travelers in our late 60's and early 70's. Jo understood our needs and requests for travel down to the tours and experiences we were booked on. Every tour exceeded our expectations and they were high. The accommodations were first class all the way from location, experience, inn keepers, their flexibility to meet our various needs. We only used one company like this before in Costa Rica as I always plan and execute our travel where ever we travel and First Light did a much better job than I could have even thought of as there is so much to do and experience in NZ.

Thanks First Light and Jo!

First of all, I would like to commend Our travel specialist Christine Goodger for doing such a great job in arranging our itinerary & putting up with several revisions on our itinerary. Her patience & sense of urgency are very impressive. She responded to our queries quickly & comprehensively. She also gave good suggestions which was a great help in organizing our itinerary.

Andrew & Frank were both very courteous & approachable. They both helped us load & unload our luggages without being asked to do so. Andrew always took the tour vouchers from us & processed our attraction tickets so entrance to the attraction was a breeze. Frank was very knowledgeable about each attraction’s history & information. He also took us to places where we can try the best tasting salmon, kiwi, chocolates, manuka honey, & the yummy mixed berries real fruit ice cream! Overall, we had an amazing tour of New Zealand, so we’ll definitely be back!

Thank you First Light Travel!
