Accommodation before hopping on the bus is not included but is included on the last day of your tour. i.e if your tour finishes in Christchurch or Auckland, accommodation is included for that night. If you need to book accommodation before the tour starts, we recommend booking Lylo in Auckland or Hotel Give in Christchurch (Gumboot tour only). We pick-up from these hotels so makes hopping on the bus much easier in the morning.
