Are you planning to cycle or hike your way around New Zealand totally unsupported? (without the aid of a support vehicle, public transport or transfers)
If your answer to the above question is YES then you are a YHANZ low carbon traveller.
Staying at any one of YHA’s network of 50 hostels has just got cheaper if you are a cyclist or tramper. It’s part of YHA’s Retro Revival designed to support the carbon-busting efforts of those travellers who travel sustainably on self supported hiking or cycle touring trips around New Zealand.
Arrive at any YHA hostel on foot or by bike, whether it’s 100kms or 1000kms away and you’ll be rewarded with up to 25% off the overnight rate per person per night. And if you aren’t already a YHA member you’ll be further rewarded with a 25% discount off a one-year YHA New Zealand membership.
YHA would like to see more people travelling sustainably and believes if travellers can go the extra mile to make the effort for the environment; YHA can reciprocate by making life a little bit easier through lower costs.
Be warned though you can’t just hop on a bike 20 meters down the road and expect to get this great discount – hostels are only accepting genuine travellers who are self supported. That means no support vehicles, buses or shuttle transfers.
Special discounted room rates available to Low Carbon Travellers:
Multishare: $19 per person per night
Private Standard room: $58 per room per night
Private Ensuite room: $76 per room per night
