All are either in central locations or in unique environments with outstanding views. Each hotel maintains excellent facilities for you to utilise as you enjoy time to relax and reminisce after each day's touring.
Enjoy properties such as Edgewater Resort set on the shores of Lake Wanaka, The Hermitage, located in the heart of World Heritage-listed Mt Cook National Park, and the 5-star Hotel InterContinental adjacent to Wellington Harbour .
Simply the Finest Dining Experiences. New Zealand is famous for its culinary delights with a fast-growing reputation for superb wines. APT’s Premier Plus tours have been designed to offer the best in local cuisine. Other touring programmes may provide limited choice menus or buffets, but with APT’s á la carte dining with Premier Plus, you have the opportunity to select any dish that tempts you from the menus of some of the finest restaurants in New Zealand .
In addition to á la carte dining APT also provides a Maori Hangi (feast) in Rotorua – a special event dinner. In Queenstown choose from 15 restaurants on the Dine Around Dinner. Premier Plus provides Freedom of Choice Dining allowing you the flexibility to dine at a time at your leisure.
The concept of Freedom of Choice Touring™ is simple - your tour still takes in all the major attractions of the region then, in feature locations, you are presented with a selection of different touring activities. You choose the one that best suits your interests and APT will pay for it. In short, it means that your holiday is just that, your very own - and it's all included in your tour price.
Freedom of Choice Dining™ is one of the most popular aspects of the Freedom Concept. Choose to dine early or late. Choose to dine with friends or alone, and of course, choose what you'd like to eat; every menu or buffet offers a delicious selection of dishes. What's more, it's all included in the price.
The tour prices include your meals as specified, accommodation, sightseeing, park entrance fees, cruises, transfers where needed... even tipping is taken care of. However you may wish to budget for non-touring activities such as scenic flights or helicopter rides - special activities which do not appeal to everyone. For even more peace of mind, on receipt of your booking confirmation, APT guarantees the tour price, so you know exactly where you stand.
