At Smylies Tours our focus is on providing safe and stimulating travel experiences around New Zealand. The smile is in our name and having fun is the game. We tailor each of our tours to include a good mix of awesome kiwi experiences, time to get to know and bond with your tour mates and enjoy some great food. Our tour leaders are very experienced and passionate about looking after you and showing you some of the best places in our wonderful country.
all trips are rated from 1 to 5 to show you how much physical excersice we will be doing
The physical rating gives you an idea of how much physical exercise is required on a particular trip. 90% of our trips are designed for students with an average level of fitness, but there are a few specialist tours (like the best of the cycle trails) that require you to be able to use the equipment to really enjoy the tour.
It's that time again. The great thing about New Zealand is that we have four defined seasons. Being in Canterbury that means snow in the mountains and that means SNOW FUN! We have the perfect solutions to taking the stress out of winter driving and helping you get up to the slopes to enjoy some POW! Check out our Ski Field section.
