Transport rules for guided tours 

You will be accompanied throughout your visit by an experienced and trained Aroha NZ Tour host (driver/guide). All of our guides have a licensed passenger endorsement to their driver license which means they have the legal approval to drive paying passengers and they also have a first aid certificate. They will take care of all your personal needs and basic details, leaving you the time to relax and enjoy this unique experience. 

Guiding Obligations By law 

Drivers have a maximum number of hours they can work. 'Work time' is a legal term that means the maximum number of hours a driver of a commercial or heavy motor vehicle is allowed to work, including driving, before they must take a rest. Work time includes all time spent working regardless of whether it is time spent driving or doing other work. In general, drivers must take a break of at least 30 minutes after 5½ hours of work time, no matter what type of work takes place during that period. In any cumulative work day you can work a maximum of 13 hours and then you must take a continuous break of at least 10 hours (as well as the standard half-hour breaks every 5½ hours). A cumulative work day is a period during which work occurs, and that:does not exceed 24 hours, andbegins after a continuous period of rest time of at least 10 hours (Adapted from www.nzta.govt.nz)
