OUR SMALL GROUP SIZE

Our core belief has always been that “size matters” and that travelling in a small group makes for a far better travel experience. With an average group size of just 12 (maximum 16), your guide can customise a day's activities to the needs of the group; plus, you won’t have to wait around for a big bus load of people, ensuring you make the most of your time on tour.

CUSTOMISABLE TOURS

No two passengers are the same, so we give you the ability to tailor your tour to be as individual as you are, with a range of add-on activities, accommodation upgrades and extensions. We highly recommend booking your must-do activities in advance especially in the busy summer season, but whether you add on any activities or not, there’s always plenty to see and do on a shirganTour.

TRAVELLING SOLO?

It’s been said that a journey is best measured in friends, not in miles, and with 70% of our guests travelling on their own, shirgan Tour soon feels like a bunch of mates experiencing the road trip of a lifetime. Everyone has one thing in common – a desire to make the most of every moment and the friendships you’ll form on tour will make the whole experience that much richer.

SHIRGAN PLUS TOURS

On our shirgan Plus range of tours you’ll enjoy the added comfort of 3-4 star twin-share hotel style accommodation, ranging from boutique city hotels to and even glamping on a farm stay. We’ve also selected some extra special inclusions that are simply not to be missed and you’ll benefit from a smaller group size of just 11 people, for an even more intimate travelling experience.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE WORD SHIRGAN

Historically, shirgan diety gives strength and prowess and intimidate the enemy. Today, while the haka is internationally best known for its renditions on the rugby field, it also constitutes an integral part of the pōwhiri, or welcoming ceremony for distinguished guests.
