Private shore excursions that are anything but ordinary
At New Zealand Private Tours, we know one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to shore excursions. We’re here to help you enjoy authentic experiences in each port, with knowledgeable local guides, that you’ll remember in years to come.
As seasoned world cruisers ourselves, we understand the importance of planning to get the best out of your limited time in each port. Our local knowledge and passion for culture, history and cuisine will help you customise your shore excursion to your personal taste.
If your stop is under 12-hours long, you might choose a winery visit, scenic tour, or a short nature walk to stretch your legs away from the ship. Perhaps the latest hot restaurant and museum exhibition. We’ll book it, plan it, ready for you to experience it. And should your preferences change, we’re right here to help you adjust your plans if you need to. No worries, as we say in New Zealand.
You may even be able to add a little extra time to your vacation and explore parts of New Zealand that are inaccessible from a cruise ship port, such as Queenstown – considered the jewel in New Zealand's tourism crown. We have a great selection of flexible, multi-day tour options ranging from 3-10 days. All our multi-day tours are bespoke and can be adjusted to suit your time frame, wish list and group size.
