Want an exciting New Zealand gap year? Check out our legendary adrenaline tour!

If you are contemplating taking a Gap Year New Zealand has much offer. New Zealand, is one of the most picturesque countries on the planet, with a good seasonal climate, there are different exciting challenges and adventures to be had whether you take you gap year during New Zealands summer or winter. New Zealand, is split between to main Islands. The North Island, and the South Island. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to do both Islands properly as a gap year New Zealand will be one of the highs of a Round the world trip. |
Gap year New Zealand options tend to focus on 2 areas. Working in New Zealand on a work holiday visa, and travel. Sure there are also many extreme sports options and sports programmes you can get involved with, but most either work there way around (taking advantage of the fact you can have an Australian work holiday visa for a year and then move your gap year to New Zealand to work there, you may not even have to go back home for 3 years!
Our Gap Year New Zealand options reflect this, we have packages designed to help you find work on your gap year new Zealand and also packages focussing on adrenaline travel in New Zealand. The most popular gap year option is the New Zealand Adrenaline Tour which is a rip roaring mission through both islands, getting you involved in some of the more adventurous adrenaline activities there.
The Gap Year Explorer tour, unlike our New Zealand Adrenaline tour and Australia adrenaline Tour and South Africa Adrenaline Tour, does not involve a flexible itinerary featuring hop on hop off bus services and you organising your own accommodation on the way (which works well in those 2 countries due to the diversity of travel options open to gap year takers and the shear size of the countries), due to the fact that New Zealand is a lot smaller than Australia and South Africa, the Gap Year Explorere New Zealand tour focuses on small groups following a set itinerary. This is great for meeting like minded (a.k.a.. mental) people, which is a definite advantage if you are desperately trying to throw your self off a bridge or jump out of an airplane. Lets face it there is nothing like peer pressure and the risk of looking like a dufus, in front of your new found friends to make you want to do a bungee, skydive or some other insane activities.
If you are a little pressed for tine (your budget is a little stretched, we also run a shorter tour, focussing on the South island, the South Island Adrenaline Rush. This is also a great way to see the South Island, and challenge your fears on some of the best adrenaline activities a gap year New Zealand has to offer. But really, when you see the whole country, you will appreciate the adrenaline tour more. If in doubt, spend less time in Australia, and more in New Zealand!
Understandably, many people head to New Zealand on a round the world ticket. Considering the distance from the UK, and the great value round the world tickets available from most carriers, this is not a bad option. Whether you choose to do a whistle stop tour of the country, or stay and work there for a few months, only you can decide, but if you are considering New Zealand as a definite stop off on your round the world trip, talk to us about our custom made round the world trips. Many people combine there Gap Year New Zealand with a stop over in Australia, Fiji, the USA and South East Asia (mainly Thailand). We have connections in all of these places, some are exciting gap year projects, others are simple bit of free advice that will do you wonders whilst you are away. Take full advantage, and email us your itinerary if you would like some complimentary advice or information on destinations that you will not find in a guide book.
