John was a school teacher in a previous life and I get the feeling he was the type that all the kids love: apart from an exhaustive knowledge of the New Zealand wilderness, he possesses a sparkling wit and a bone-dry sense of humour. "

Family Tours

New Zealand is fabulous for families - old and young. It is a very safe country for children and there are numerous activities which help family members from different generations bond together. And for kids of all ages, there are wonderful learning opportunities alongside some amazing activities which would turn their friends green with envy. Canterbury Trails can even design an Activity Book to support learning during a family tour if requested. Shy, friendly, lively, studious and adventurous - all types of kids will 'have a ball' in New Zealand enjoying its diversity, physical and fun challenges, as well as the company of an empathetic Canterbury Trails guide.

There are many activities for families with toddlers and/or teens to enjoy during a tour of the South Island. (They can be booked by Canterbury Trails in advance or be arranged when you are here depending on availability.) After you have selected the activities (see below for those available) and the areas you would like to visit we put together a balanced itinerary to keep up the whole family's interest and energy levels.

These are just some of the kid-friendly activities that can be included as part of your family tour.
