New Zealand Backpacker Travel - Adventure off the beaten track

NATIONAL PARKS
Our 14 national parks contain an amazing variety of unspoiled landscape and vegetation and travelling on Stray is one of the best ways to access these parks.

LOCAL CULTURE
Just by cruising on the Stray bus and listening to your guide you’ll pick up loads of information about the New Zealand culture. When you’re off the bus you’ll get to meet local characters and have the chance to emmerse yourself in the culture through various activities.

NZ BEACHES
Our mild climate also means that almost every beach and their local activities such as sailing or seal spotting are available year round.

SNOW AND ICE
New Zealand’s unique landscape has glaciers and mountains that offer many awe-inspiring activities for the Stray traveller.

THRILLSEEKERS
New Zealand and Queenstown in particular is known as the adventure capital of the world so if you’re keen to throw yourself off something (bridge, ledge, plane, tower) there’s no other place better.

ARTS AND CRAFTS
There are some great opportunities for you to see local arts and crafts as well participate in some yourself!

WILDLIFE
Almost half of the world’s marine mammals visit or live in New Zealand’s waters. We try and get you to view and see as much of these animals as possible as we can without compromising their or your own safety.

HOT STUFF
Everyone likes a bit of hot stuff and Stray gets you lots of it! New Zealand’s unique landscape lends itself to geysers, hot pools and hundreds of volcanoes for you to check up and feel the heat!
