The Horizon Difference

GUARANTEED DEPARTURES
We realize an escorted vacation is probably only part of your New Zealand visit. We appreciate the planning required, and thus we continue to guarantee more departures. Once booking confirmation is received, your tour price is guaranteed up to 31 March 2009.

TRAVELING ALONE, TWIN SHARE GUARANTEE
Traveling alone but don’t want to pay the single supplement? Unless we can match you with another traveler of the same gender, you’ll enjoy a single room at no extra cost. To qualify, you must be willing to accept a non-smoking room, and also accept that compatibility with your room mate can’t be guaranteed. If you require a guaranteed single room, a full tour single supplement is payable. Supplementary pre and post stay accommodation must be purchased at the single rate.

MEET AND GREET, TRANSFERS INCLUDED
On arrival at the airport you will met by a Horizon representative who will see you to your hotel. A departure transfer is also included at the end of your vacation. Flight information must be advised at the time of booking.
