Elysia

New Zealand is a bucket list destination. It’s like seeing 20 different countries in one. Every corner provides a new adventure.

A New Zealand native, Elysia ended up living permanently on the South Island by accident! After buying a ski pass and intending to only stay the winter, she loved it so much she’s made it her home for 18 years.

George

Within a very small area you can see temperate rainforest that is unchanged since dinosaurs ruled the earth, glaciers down to sea level, and the wide open stark landscape of central Otago.

George was born, and has lived his whole life, on the South Island of New Zealand. As a former high school science teacher, he loves to share his knowledge of New Zealand’s unique geology, flora and fauna with travelers.

A wonderful introduction to a marvelous country that left us hungry for more. The trip was a smorgasbord of sights and experiences that comprised a very rich reward for the accompanying travel. The knowledge and insights on cultural and geological history shared by our experienced, enthusiastic guides took each segment to a another level. Auckland (pre) is great while Queenstown (post) is off the charts.

New Zealand: The South Island

We very much enjoyed the diversity of activities that VBT offered, the beautiful South Island and our wonderful guides. We have previously traveled to NZ but this VBT trip allowed us to experience the diversity of the South Island. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming.
