2)
Choose best value flights
Morning arrivals and afternoon departures help maximise
your New Zealand time. Stopover
durations may also impact. Some companies more frequently change flight
times so plans must be flexible to cop with these events.
3)
Prioritise your preferred objectives
List your tour educational objectives,
destinations and activities then
prioritise them.
KANES plan
your itinerary to best meet these
without wasting time on extended travel and activities of less interest.
4) Choose appropriate
Theme Zones
More zones give a
greater variety of features. Plan to visit Zones with the best and most
features to meet your interests.
5) Choose best Island if both
are not possible
To keep time needs and prices lower for student groups one Island may be
your preferred option. Most learning experiences are available in both
Islands however, The South Island
offers the best valued experiences with:-
scenery,
glaciation,
tectonics,
rivers, lakes,
mountains,
weather,
and
adventures
and
the North Island
has 3 times the population and offers the best valued experiences with:- active volcanoes
and
geothermal activity.
6) Choose the most economical
duration
More days reduce the cost per day and allow for more activities.
Too many days reduce the the pleasure gained from your experience.
Less that 7 days is not advisable from a value view point. More than
14 days can show effects of fatigue and loss of learning. KANES
help you find the best balance for
your group.
7) Choose an economical
group size
Groups of around 35-45 usually incur
lowest
prices per person. Smaller groups are easier to coordinate but do incur
extra cost.
8)
Ensure your touring
time is effectively used
KANES
allocate correct timing allowances for each activity
ensuring maximum
learning enjoyment while avoiding avoiding fatigue.
9)
Choose meals to meet your budget
Meals can be a a significant
contributor to the price and sometimes they can tale a lot of touring time.

several different arrangements
beginning at the cheapest; self catering Safari Meals. You can then
choose various combinations of the more expensive options including; self
purchase, employed meal manager and restaurants of varying standards.
10) Choose
accommodation to meet your budget
There is a range of standards to choose for
your group.
KANES
offer a
range from low cost multi share facilities
to quality twin share 4 or 5 star hotels.
11) Minimise your work load
