Self-drive Holidays

Both Iceland and New Zealand are perfectly designed for a fly drive holiday and is our most popular type of holiday in each destination. Both possess quiet, uncluttered roads and stunning scenery around every bend. Australia is a much larger prospect for self drive holiday, but with good planning, is no less rewarding. Our newest destination for fly drive holidays is Norway, with itineraries being introduced over the coming weeks.

A fly drive holiday offers the freedom to travel at your own pace each day and explore out of the way sights and popular attractions alike. You can choose a fly drive holiday straight ‘off the peg’ or you can let our team of expert travel advisors create a tailor made holiday especially for you.

Each of our Iceland fly-drive holidays has been carefully researched and planned to include the places that we know visitors will enjoy and range from 4-16 nights. Whether you choose a short break which focuses on the waterfalls and glaciers of the south shore, explore the rugged interior (summer only) by 4WD or drive 1200 km around the island’s scenic route 1. And if you can’t find the itinerary that is right for you, we’ll be happy to tailor make a holiday to your exact specifications.

Our collection of fly drive holidays in New Zealand includes classic touring routes throughout both islands, special interest itineraries to suit nature and wine enthusiasts as well as adventurous 4x4 self drive holidays. Accommodation is based on three classifications – budget, tourist and superior and is included throughout so that you can spend each day exploring as you wish with the comfort of knowing where you will stay each night. This is especially recommended during peak season (November-March).

If our featured itineraries do not meet your requirements we can create a tailor made fly drive holiday for you. You can mix and match accommodation from hotels and motels to boutique properties and New Zealand lodges and also choose from a wide range of rental vehicles including compact, mid-range and luxury cars, 4x4 vehicles or fully-equipped motorhomes.

You would need a lot of time to tackle the whole of Australia on a self-drive holiday due to the vast distances involved - this is a very big country! However, with careful planning and practical use of other forms of transport such as planes and trains, a fly drive holiday is one of most enjoyable ways to explore Australia. Mix and match our selection of regional itineraries to make longer holiday or let us create a tailor made holiday exclusively styled to your interests and timescale.

We are currently working on a collection of self-drive itineraries in Norway and are pleased to announce the first itinerary, Norwegian Fjord Highlights is now ready to book. Experience the majesty of the stunning fjords and beauty of the countryside over the summer and early autumn months and fall in love with this delightful destination.
