Frequently Asked Questions
Your guide will supply a continental breakfast each morning of your tour. This will consist of cereal, toast, tea, coffee and juice. And we take any special requests also. Lunches and dinners are at your own expense.
Your guide will know the best places in each town and city depending on your budget and what you are after, and they will point these out on the way into each location.
Some nights the tour group may choose to cook a meal together. You will head to a supermarket to get everything and then cook as a group at the hostel. Whoever joins in splits the cost, and it usually works out to be about $15 NZD per person. A fun, social and cheap dinner.
Likewise the tour group and guide often head out to a local pub for a beer and a meal. Meals can range from $25 upwards. In summer it’s not uncommon to have a BBQ with a few drinks.
Yes – the Operator often hosts vegetarian/vegan guests, and all cafes and restaurants in New Zealand offer these options. If you can’t see any on the menu, just ask, as most places will happily prepare something for you.
The Operator has guests in their late teens to their mid 60’s, but the average age is between 25–45. More important than age is an attitude, and they have found over the years that if you have a thirst for adventure, then age is no barrier.
Please keep in mind, though, that a reasonable fitness level is required. The minimum age for joining a tour is 18 years old. Sometimes the group may head out to a bar where everyone needs to be 18 years old, and New Zealand has strict alcohol policies.
