Journeys are carefully planned to balance sightseeing with time to enjoy each location, supported by experienced Coach Captains and, on some tours, a dedicated tour leader.
With a demographic that often includes retired travellers, the atmosphere on board is typically calm, social and easy going, suited to those who value comfort and a well paced itinerary.

How Grand Pacific tours work
Grand Pacific Tours follow a structured itinerary, with transport, accommodation and many experiences included. Travel is by premium coach, with routes designed to cover New Zealand’s key regions in a comfortable and well organised way.
Each day is planned in advance, with a mix of sightseeing, guided experiences and time to relax. Your Coach Captain manages the journey and shares local insight, while on Ultimate tours a dedicated tour leader also travels with the group.
Our best price guarantee
Great trips come down to good planning, the right experiences and a smooth journey. We offer competitive pricing across a wide range of New Zealand coach tours, and if you find the same coach tour for less, we’ll beat it before you book. You’ll get the best price, trusted advice and a well organised trip, all in one place.
Prefer something more flexible?
If you like the idea of guided touring but want more flexibility, we can combine a guided tour with extra time before or after, creating a trip that fits you better.
