Tours filling up
Tours for the next season are filling fast - the 2008 Fun and Funky Tour is fully booked, and the November 2007 Burt Munro Tour is almost full. If you are planning a date and want us to hold spaces for you, contact us soon - first in first served!
Air New Zealand Specials - USA to New Zealand from USD812 in Nov and Dec 07
From time to time you'll find some great air travel specials on Air New Zealand's website. We appreciate you're busy too, so we keep in eye on the specials ourselves. If we find anything hot, we'll post it on here, or email our client list.
This latest from Air New Zealand covers is for the travel period commencing 15 Aug - 30 Sep 07 & 28 Oct - 01 Dec 07, and the sale remain open until 30 Sept 2007. It allows 3 stopovers in New Zealand, in which Nelson is included, so the fare includes your internal transfers, which is pretty good.
I just plugged in San Francisco to Nelson, New Zealand return for a December trip, and it came back with a fare of US$1421 - not bad at all, when you consider the the Auckland- Nelson return flights are worth around US$300.
So if you're thinking of traveling to New Zealand in November or December, and can book before Sept 30, this is a great deal.

New Zealand just became great value again! NZ$ drops 18%
In just a few days last week, the Kiwi dollar fell from a high of US$ 0.82, down to 0.68, before rebounding to US$0.72, where it seems to be settled again, at least in the short term.
If you're thinking of touring New Zealand next year that's good news - your upcoming vacation just became 15-18% cheaper, depending upon your currency. For us Kiwis heading overseas for our vacations, things just became quite a bit pricier. :-(
The economic gurus have been telling us for sometime that the Kiwi Dollar is vastly overvalued, and needs to, and will definitely fall. Because of the attractive rates of interest available in New Zealand, a result of the way the NZ Government manages our inflation, overseas investors buy Kiwi Dollars, driving the value of the NZD up against other currencies. The rapid correction in the value of our currency will make NZ exporters and those of us in the tourism industry a bit happier.
Predicting the exchange rates is an imperfect science though, and no-one seems game to say whether they expect the Kiwi dollar to rise back up or fall further. The bottom line is, right now, make hay while the sun shines.. :-)
If you're already booked to tour with us this upcoming season, or have been delaying your decision, now's a great time to take advantage of the fall by perhaps paying for your tour in full while the Kiwi dollar is down.

Motorcycle Touring Vacations in New Zealand
We're proud to be a totally New Zealand owned and operated business and unlike other operators, ALL tours are guided exclusively by the company owners and founders, John & Ian Fitzwater.
Our motorcycle touring vacations in New Zealand are second to none. Our aim is not simply to provide you with the best motorcycle tour you'll ever have - we aim to give you the best holiday or vacation you'll ever have!
We think that too many NZ motorcycle tours stick to the main routes and tourist towns, and totally miss the 'real New Zealand'. If you want to see neon then you can do that at home, right?? Our touring vacations visit some out-of-the-way areas that are often missed by other motorbike tour companies because of the herd-like size of their groups - just check out our itineraries , we bet you'll have trouble finding some of our stopovers on your map! In fact even a lot of Kiwis don't know about these locations. You'll still get to see the main sightseeing attractions - the glaciers, the mountains, the glacial lakes and rugged but beautiful coastlines.
