New Zealand Travelpass

The New Zealand Travelpass is a great transport option for the independent traveller. It consists of a number of preset itineraries that are based on the most popular travel routes.

 

The Travelpass is good for travel on InterCity coaches and Great Sights day tours as well the Interislander ferry. It also includes extras like scenic cruises on Milford Sound, tours of Waitomo Glowworm Cave and tours to Cape Reinga.

 

All Travelpass travel sectors can be broken into smaller journeys, hopping on and off at any stop en route and some passes can be completed in reverse, however backtracking is not allowed.

 

Travelpasses are available in the following routes:
