The Rally Tours “Gold Tour” program will again be 4 days duration with overseas clients arriving in Auckland on Wednesday the 5th May and staying at the Auckland Sky City Hotel. However we are offering two other levels of accommodation, both within a very short distance to the Sky City.

Thursday’s activities will be in around Auckland City. Keep up to date via our newsletters for Thursday’s action.

For the next 3 days we will see 3-4 Rally stages per day including the Ceremonial Finish on the Sunday. Rally Tours works closely with the Rally organisers and in some cases secures exclusive and private viewing spots. In some instances we drive into the stages before the event and follow the sweeper car out after the last car giving you the chance to experience some of our famously unique and interesting NZ roads.

Latvala Rally NZ 2008

Our transport is in small 10 seater mini coaches with a qualified driver and Rally Tour guide. Generally we are able park close to the action and only have a very short walk to the stage viewing points. Our international clients that travel to several different WRC rallies tell us that our Rally NZ tour is the best on the WRC circuit for viewing and photographic opportunities. Daily lunches are supplied on all 3 days as are group dinners on Friday and Saturday night.

At this time Rally NZ organisers are excited at the level of 1st class entries already received in both the WRC and PWC classes with the latter fully subscribed. Top level NZ Rally competitors will fill the entry list.

Rally Tours also offers a day tour option on each of the Rally Days ex Auckland Spaces on the day tours will be limited and preference will be given to clients purchasing the Gold Tour with the accommodation package.

Based on the Gold Tour Itinerary Rally Tours can also design packages for tour groups and corporate parties of 8 or more wanting to travel in their own exclusive mini- van or coach.
