New Zealand Your Way
New Zealand Your Way provides a range of Self Drive and Seat-inCoach touring modules that are tailored especially for the independent
traveller in New Zealand. ATS Pacific New Zealand’s carefully designed
itineraries feature three ranges of hotel accommodation, a choice
of Standard, Superior and First Class categories, which have been
selected because of convenience, service, and value for money. With
each itinerary a traveller can choose to travel in a rental car on a Self
Drive basis, or on daily tourist class coach services on a Seat-in-Coach
basis. All services are pre-booked.
Itineraries
Photo: Arno Gasteiger
We have carefully planned an array of special and unique New Zealand
holidays. These holiday itineraries range from short stays in the North
Island only, through to extensive programmes that include both the
North and South Islands of New Zealand and that will see you visit
New Zealand’s top points of interest. You will find the selection of New
Zealand Your Way itineraries on page 5.
Accommodation
We have selected the best value accommodation, in three standards.
On page 6-9 you will find a summary of the Standard, Superior and
First Class hotels included in your package options.
Seat in Coach Option
For the ultimate relaxation select a Seat-in-Coach tour which combines
daily tourist class coach services, quality accommodation and popular
sightseeing activities on Great Sights and Intercity coaches. All coaches
have large panoramic windows, air conditioning and comfortable
seating. Most coaches have a rest room, on coach video and twin
doors allowing easier access. Coach driver/guides are experienced,
friendly and willing to help during the touring day. On most sectors
they provide an informative commentary and luggage service. Foreign
language commentary is also available (through headphones) on
most touring routes (Japanese and Mandarin). As these modules are
designed for independent travellers, without the structure of a group
tour, it is important to note that you will travel with different drivers
and passengers each day. The meeting of new friends is one of the
highlights of a New Zealand Your Way Seat-in-Coach Tour.

Photo Maui Motorhome - Platinum Beach
Motorhome Option
Enjoy the freedom of touring around New Zealand in a spacious, fully
equipped motorhome. Visit beautiful lakes, beaches and mountains as
you travel around the country at your own pace.
Self Drive Option
For the ultimate flexibility, select a Self-Drive tour, which combines a
rental car, quality accommodation and popular sightseeing activities.
You will find driving through New Zealand a pleasure. The scenery
is superb, the roads of a high standard and the people friendly and
courteous. New Zealand’s roads are of a good quality, although
sometimes narrow and winding. The majority of main roads are sealed
and free of congestion. For your Self Drive tour, choose from a variety
of vehicle categories to easily accommodate your travelling party and
luggage needs (see page 4).
