Grand Pacific Luxury Small Group 9 Day North Island May 2026
Ultimate North Island
Janine, VIC, Australia, May 2026
This was my second trip with Grand Pacific, previously toured South Island May 2024, again luxury small group tour. Top quality company, luxury coaches and good itineraries. Great for singles and couples alike. Seat rotation is fabulous. I would've liked to have had time to enjoy a hot pool spa experience in Rotorua (although the hotel did have read more a small one) and a little more time in Wellington. But that means I can do another trip either alone or find a tour to do the things I want to do. No crowds, no rushing, great hotels/accommodation. Personal insight during the trip with a great coach captain. Highly recommend. Weather was great - a little rain on arrival in Bay of Islands and Napier.
Ultimate North Island. 12-20th May
Ultimate North Island
Ian Gates, VIC, Australia, May 2026
In reviewing this trip, all I can say, is that all the arrangements that were made beforehand, the itinerary, places to visit , excursions, the accommodation, the number of people in the group, were all first class, including the coach captain. Everything went like clockwork, as smooth as anything. All our needs, information, everything we needed, was read more given with the least amount of fuss. I could not recommend the trip highly enough. As for Georgina's handling of my booking, that was mostly done by Hannah, but I am sure Georgina would have handled my booking in the same professional way as Hannah did . Thanks again for a wonderful trip, an experience I will never forget.
Ultimate Grand Pac Experience
Ultimate Rail, Cruise and Coach
Michael & Rosemarie, NSW, Australia, May 2026
My wife and I have just returned to Australia after spending 19 nights on the Ultimate Rail, Cruise & Coach tour of New Zealand's North & South Islands (May 5th - 23rd) under the care and guidance of our excellent Coach Captain, Craig Cassidy. From the time of booking our trip to arriving back home, the experience & journey was absolutely fantastic. read more Our travel agent, Hannah Perry (Global Journeys) was attentive, prompt and helpful with our questions & preparations for the trip. From the point of arrival in Auckland, we felt privileged & valued and Craig very quickly made us feel at ease with the processes and logistics of small coach touring.
Whilst New Zealand in itself was spectacular, diverse and breathtaking, the curated activities & excursions combined with the wide range of optional extras, which dovetailed seamlessly into the tour, made the whole journey even more memorable and enjoyable. Accommodation standards and food quality were uniformly excellent and the extra level of care & attention we received, e.g. bags taken to and from our rooms, early or priority entries into attractions and the high level of relevant & interesting information from Craig meant that the tour was totally stress & hassle free.
Our small group of 20 bonded beautifully over the holiday allowing us to spend quality time together but also for individuals & couples to explore independently. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Grand Pac involved in compiling this excellent tour, but with a special mention for Craig, in recognition not only of all the hard work we saw him do but the mountain of work he did behind the scenes - his professionalism, patience & humour were deeply appreciated. We will have no hesitation in recommending Grand Pacific to our friends & family. This trip will live in our memories for a very long time.

This is an outstanding tour in all respects. Excellent itinerary, good accommodation, very knowledgable tour leadership and local guides. All in a small group. Highly recommended. Good support in getting it organised from the Global Journeys team.
Interesting Outback tour
South Australian Outback Adventure
Andrea M, NSW , Australia, May 2026
Grace was very helpful in arranging the booking and final details. We had a group of 18 on our tour. We saw a lot of interesting places which were definitely worth visiting and it was an unexpected delight to see Lake Eyre full of water. The flies were bad, so a fly net is recommended even for April/May, and we only received an email from the AAT read more King tour guide about it after we had arrived there. Wilpena Pound and Arkaroola were definite highlights and extra nights there would have been desirable in hindsight. The 4WD jeep tour at Arkaroola accessed a very remote area and was spectacular. There were too many fries served at lunches and dinners (even at the winery lunch) for my liking, and I feel that the preordered meals lacked details (ie, chicken, beef, vegetarian). It would help if vegetarian indicated is it rice, pasta, salad? especially for the cost of the trip. Most breakfasts were at 7 am and departures at 745 am so there were no super early departure times. And Coober Pedy is definitely worth visiting.
Ultimate South Island
Ultimate South Island
Ilana and Joyce, NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
Ultimate South Island NZ came highly recommended to us by a previous traveller. It was everything she described and so much more. Seamless booking with Hannah from Global Journeys, who is always a delight to work with. There really is nothing in the world like the South Island. Dramatic, untamed and breathtaking. Travelling through the rugged, pristine read more wilderness was profoundly peaceful, like being in paradise. Late April was a perfect time, as outside the main tourist season, with snow capped peaks, trees transitioning to Autumn colours, crisp air and sunshine every day.
Grand Pacific took care of every detail with the tour well curated, organised and communicated. Our coach driver/tour guide Linda was outstanding, highly knowledgeable, personable and humorous. Luxury coach and premium accommodation, with delicious food throughout the tour. Lovely group of fellow travellers and small enough to not feel crowded. With a lot to see, there is a fair amount of travel everyday. Would highly recommend!
