Travellers Residing in Australia
Your Grand Pacific Tours (GPT) documentation, including any merchandise, will be sent to you approximately two weeks before departure. These items will not be available once you have departed Australia.
Travellers Residing Outside of Australia
Your personalised itinerary will be emailed to you. Your GPT documentation and any merchandise will be available for collection at your first night's accommodation, as per your tour itinerary.
If you do not require certain items from the Documentation Pack, please return them to the GPT Representative on the first morning of your tour, and they will be recycled. You can also view the contents of the Documentation Pack on our website before arriving in New Zealand. If your pack is not available at your hotel, please contact GPT.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide documentation in advance.

Packing for a trip overseas can be tricky, but we recommend travelling light. If you forget something, you’ll be able to pick it up along the way.
Packing Tips:
- Clothing: Smart casual outfits are suitable for most occasions. Temperatures can vary, so pack light layers and a waterproof jacket regardless of the season.
- Shoes: Comfortable walking shoes are essential, but heavy hiking boots aren’t necessary.
- Accessories: Bring a sunhat, sunblock, sunglasses, and a swimsuit for beaches and hot pools.
Luggage Allowance:
To make travel easy, please limit your luggage to:
- 1 medium-sized suitcase (maximum 23kg / 50lbs) – stored in the coach’s luggage compartment and not accessible during the day.
- 1 small day bag or soft backpack – perfect for items you need during the day, like a jacket, sunhat, camera, or water bottle.
We understand that everyone wants a great view of New Zealand’s stunning landscapes, so we operate a seat rotation policy on all our tours. This ensures fairness and gives everyone the chance to enjoy different perspectives during the journey.
While we can’t guarantee seats near the front, rotating seats keeps things fair for everyone.
If you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend bringing any medication you might need.
