As the premier choice for travellers aged 50 and over, our New Zealand bus tours are designed specifically for active seniors allowing you to enjoy a care-free holiday that exceeds your expectations.
With over five decades of experience, we are dedicated to curating New Zealand bus tours for seniors that showcase the best of New Zealand’s diverse landscape, heritage, and culture. We do all of this with the senior traveller in mind knowing that you are young at heart and crave to explore the world but desire seamless and stress-free travel in comfort.
That’s why Kirra Tours is a quintessential choice for discerning travellers aged 50 and above. Our New Zealand bus tours are thoughtfully crafted, with your needs at the heart of each one.
The Kirra Tour Difference
Traditional escorted tours typically offer little or no amenities and basic seating arrangements, primarily focusing on efficient transportation between destinations.
A Kirra Premium NZ coach tour emphasises comfort and quality. Utilising luxury coaches equipped with spacious seating, ample legroom, and climate control, our priority is to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey for passengers. We recognise that the travel experience extends beyond reaching the destination.
Our premium over 50’s tours nz feature experienced tour guides who provide detailed insights about each destination, fostering a more engaging experience for passengers. In contrast, regular New Zealand tours may offer limited interaction between guides and passengers.
Additionally, our coach tours maintain small group sizes, allowing for a more personalised and intimate experience compared to the larger groups often found on regular bus tours. This setup creates opportunities for genuine connections with like-minded people, making it particularly appealing for solo adventurers. The chance to meet fellow travellers and new friends is a common feature of our Premium Coach Tour.
