Scottsdale Tours has been operating since 1978. Our specialty is fully escorted tours for senior citizens around New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
What we offer as owner/operators is that you know exactly who is going to be looking after you, and in most cases also driving the coach as we accompany all the tours ourselves. Also by travelling with the boss you will find we are often able to do some extra "little bits" if time allows. Our incurable curiosity means we just have to have a look "up there" sometimes. We love to explore the back roads rather than the main highways and as much as possible we will take you to places where the "big boys" don't go. Our groups are generally around 20 - 30 people which also allows us a lot more flexibility.
Our package prices are based on double or twin share accommodation and single supplement is available at an extra cost. Our tours are genuinely inclusive of all your expenses including your top quality dinner, bed & breakfast accommodation, all travel costs, all admissions, and departure taxes. All you will need is lunch money and spending money.
We are based in Waihi which is central to our operations but we now have travellers from all parts of New Zealand. We offer a free home pick up and return shuttle service for people in most urban areas of the Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
Most of our overseas tours depart from Auckland and we can meet you at that airport if that suits better. Some of our more southern clients fly direct from Christchurch or Wellington to Australia and we meet them at the airport there. If you are out of our pick up areas and wish to drive yourself to a pick up point we can arrange motel accommodation and car storage for you while we are away.
If you wish to spend some extra time overseas before or after our tour, that can be arranged also.
A number of our passengers have regularly travelled with us and are a very friendly group, so do not worry if you are on your own as we can pair you up with someone nice if you wish. You can of course have a room to yourself for a little extra cost.
So why not join the happy crowd on one of our adventures? We would love to have you along.
