"Every day just got better"

Started amazing and still the only way was up! Great tour guides who were really knowledgeable and a great laugh, fantastic views and awesome activities. All topped off by meeting the most amazing people. Truly off the beaten track and the best 5 weeks that I'll remember for a lifetime :)

"Short Ron Excellence"

My Tour with Stray took me throughout the entire South Island of NZ and even the "deep south" portion. I had three different drivers, each with their own personality and quirky attitudes toward their route and what the wanted to show their passengers. I made so many friends and had plenty of experiences within the short two weeks that it felt like such a larger portion of my whole trip! (6 months total)
The drivers each had developed such a relationship with each of their hosts at each stop and location that it never felt very touristy in any sense but always like visiting an old friend and bringing new ones to be introduced. I loved every second, minute, hour, day of it and could not think of travelling with another tour company throughout Australia and New Zealand.

"Best way to see New Zealand!"

I booked a Stray trip around the North Island last minute before visiting and it was the best decision I ever made. The trip takes you away from the tourist trap destinations where you get to really experience everything New Zealand has to offer. In my week I went from Visiting film sets from Lord Of The Rings to Hunting in a forest to playing in snow right under Mt Doom. The group of people on my bus were amazing and we became a little family welcoming people on as we went as you get the option to jump off and stay longer if you find somewhere you really like!

The flexibility that Stray offers you along with the great support staff and drivers as well as amazing activities and sights on the way make this the perfect option for any traveler looking to see everything New Zealand has too offer! I have no doubt I'll be back soon to do the South Island with Stray!

"Go amazing places, do cool stuff!"

This is a fun way to get around NZ with lots of adventurous activities on offer. It is easy to hop on and off the bus so you are not locked into a fixed tour. We visited some really remote beautiful places along the way and best of all I met some awesome people on the trip who I am still in touch with. Go Stray!

"Amazing trip!"

I had an excellent time travelling with Stray in New Zealand! Along the trip, I met friends for life, did fantastic activities and saw New Zealand's beautiful nature!

It was such a smooth trip from the beginning to the end. I didn't need to worry about accommodation, which is very handy if you travel in high season! The driver was always really informative and helpful!

I recommend Stray to everyone who wants an amazing time while travelling through New Zealand!

"Discover NZ with Stray!!"

I had the best time travelling New Zealand thanks to Stray! Not only do they take you to the well-known parts of the country, Stray will take you off the beaten track to the most amazing places you would not get to on your own. My driver guide was awesome, informative and entertaining. I travelled and met a lot of fun and interesting people along the way. Lots of activities to choose from and accomm was very good. I loved the group meals we had at some of our destinations too. If you want to experience the real New Zealand, you will definitely get further off the beaten track with Stray :)

"Travelling on the Stray bus is awesome!"

Travelling on the Stray bus was fantastic! I didn't have to worry about driving and navigating my way around, I was chauffeured by a lovely bus driver we called Pickle! I got to stare at the amazing scenery out the window and visit some incredible destinations. I met great people who I'll stay in touch with and got to do some incredible things like swim with wild dolphins, skydive, fly a plane and white water raft down the worlds highest commercially rafted waterfall. It was such an adventure!

"very good to visit places hard to reach"

It was great and time management was very good no waiting time.. schedule was always full packed to see awesome places has a great time with stray

"Best two weeks of my life"

Do you want an amazing travel experience? Do you want to be around like-minded go-with-the-flow travelers? Do you want to go to unique off-the-beaten path places? Do you want to explore the most beautiful place in the world and in comfort? Then don't be a fool and travel with Stray! They provided me with what may have been the best two weeks of my life on the South Island. The experience of being with an awesome group, with an awesome guide, going to awesome places, and doing awesome things was once in a lifetime and a dream I never want to wake up from! They have gotten the travel thing down to a science. They book your hostels, they book yor activities, and they even cook for you on some nights! The guides are so informative and helpful. They do numerous scenic stops so you can see things you never would have if you went on your own. Nat is an angel sent from heaven. These guides really go out of their way for you. Nat got my money back for me despite the fact that I am the one messed up and forgot to return a key (remember me now?). Do yourself a favor and book with Stray without hesitation!

"Brilliant"
