Did you know? If you book directly with an operator you will see their live availability. If you book through our Klook discount, some operators provide live availability but others manually approve/decline bookings. For this reason, we suggest you book as early as possible through Klook. Through Klook, your booking is only confirmed when you book on ‘automatic approval’ or when the operator has approved you.
Our discounts are for our readers and members. If you read our blog but are not yet in the New Zealand Travel Tips Facebook group, please join – it’s free and an amazing resource. Operators may ask you to show the Facebook group on your phone when you check in. Or, if you’re not on Facebook, be ready to explain that you read NZTT online. By booking through us, you will enjoy a discount while supporting NZTT – thank you!
