Frequently Asked Questions

Scared? You do not have to be, not yet anyway. Wait until you are out there! Seriously though if you have questions or want to talk to us about what to expect, we can have a skype conversation with you, and of course you are welcome to email us. Requesting trip notes is also a good idea, because we will email you lots of information about the trip.

Stray Vs Kiwi Experience which would we recommend?

Both companies do the same thing, but both are definitely a different experience. Talk to us about what you want to get out of your visit to New Zealand so we can recommend the perfect option for you.

If I back out can I get my money back?

Unfortunately not, but that is a sweet incentive to follow through and do thew activities! There are occasions when refunds are warranted, this is only when activities are cancelled due to exceptional weather conditions, mainly with skydiving. However this rarely happens because our Sky dive Partners Nzone operate 2 drop zone locations, and you can jump at wither of them - in Queenstown and Rotorua.

Why don´t I just book it all myself when I am out there?

Well you could, but there are a couple of things to consider. If you wait, it is highly likely you will miss out on doing some of these amazing activities. Xtreme Gappers are given preferential queue jumping status. Meaning you are guaranteed to do the activities, and will be first in line should there be a back log due to adverse weather conditions. Secondly, our research has shown 85% of people waiting to book their activities until they are in country miss out because they run out of money. These activities are expensive and so is New Zealand in general. Your skydive budget will most likely disappear behind the bars before you get to the drop zone.

Finally your time is precious when you are travelling, why spend months saving up to enjoy your time in New Zealand and then spend a third of it marching around trying to book accommodation, or sitting on the internet searching for activities when you could be at them doing them!

Is it a group trip?

Yes an no, the start dates and travel dates are flexible, so you may not end up with the same people on the bus that you started with. Many do opt to travel together as they make friends and stick together, but most likely you will meet lots of different people.
