To confirm your booking, we typically require a deposit of 20% of the total tour cost or NZ$250 per person, whichever is greater. In some cases, additional payments may be required at the time of booking for items such as domestic flights or other services that need to be secured immediately.
Once you're ready to book your New Zealand holiday, a deposit is required to secure your arrangements.
This allows us to begin confirming accommodation, transport, activities, and any other services included in your itinerary.
How is the deposit calculated?
In most cases, the required deposit is:
| Booking Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Standard deposit | 20% of the total tour cost |
| Minimum deposit | NZ$250 per person |
| Amount payable | Whichever is greater |
The deposit amount is automatically calculated and displayed during the payment process.
Why might I need to pay more than the standard deposit?
Some travel components need to be purchased and confirmed immediately after booking.
These can include:
- Domestic flights
- Special event tickets
- Limited-availability experiences
- Selected accommodation providers
When this applies, the additional amount will be collected alongside your deposit payment.
Your travel specialist will explain any such requirements before you confirm your booking.
When is the remaining balance due?
The final balance is usually due before your departure date.
The exact timing will depend on your itinerary and booking conditions, and these details will be provided when you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Once your deposit has been received, we'll begin confirming the arrangements included in your itinerary.
You'll receive confirmation of your booking along with details of any remaining payments and important travel information.
