We have a mix of single and multi night stays, for example on
our 21 day Kakapo tour there are five two night stays and one
three night stay. We break driving up with plenty of photo
stops and short walks. Often we travel for half the day with Optional act

around 8am, but you get a few sleep ins too. We arrive at our

very friendly and social, a lot of people say it’s like travelling
with a group of old friends!
