Traveling solo shouldn’t mean traveling alone. ZigZag Tours gives you the freedom of independent travel with the structure, safety and social ease most solo travelers are looking for. You get small groups, zero-drama itineraries and guides who actually understand how to balance space with connection.
Every tour is built for people who want more than a holiday. You’ll cover the must-sees, but you’ll also get moments that feel unscripted and personal. Think quiet lakes, local food, small towns, wide roads and that feeling of doing something bold without the stress that usually comes with it.
ZigZag gives solo travelers the ease of a planned itinerary without the stress of doing it alone. You focus on the experience, not the logistics.
New Zealand is one of the safest and most solo-friendly English-speaking destinations on the planet.
Small-group tours make meeting people effortless while still giving you space.
Remote landscapes, quieter trails and flexible days suit solo travelers better than large tours.
ZigZag operates small group tours across the North and South Island of New Zealand. The exact number changes by trip, but each tour is capped at 10 people. This keeps the experience personal, social and easy to manage for solo travellers. No big buses, no anonymous crowds.
No. ZigZag doesn’t charge a single supplement. Solo travelers pay the same rate as everyone else, and accommodation is arranged so you’re not penalised for travelling alone.
Expect a social environment by design. Tour days mix shared travel, group meals and downtime where people naturally interact. It’s structured to facilitate connection without forcing it.
No travel partner or experience required. Solo travelers are common and welcome. The tour structure, guides and shared activities remove most of the logistical stress solo travellers normally face.
New Zealand is widely considered safe for solo travelers with low crime and strong tourism infrastructure. Small group tours add an extra layer of safety and social support because you’re with experienced local guides and other travellers.
ZigZag Tours are designed for independent travelers who want the security and social ease of a small group without paying extra. You get your own tent, stretcher, camp chair and your own seat in the van. No single supplement. You arrive solo, but you won’t stay that way.
