Transport and Flight Passes

There is simply never enough time to see and do everything New Zealand has to offer but don’t worry, Magic has the answer. If you are short on travel days, Magic’s Coach and Jet passes are designed to help you make the most of your New Zealand holiday. These unique trips combine some of our most popular Flexi Bus passes with a domestic flight at one easy all inclusive price, enabling you to travel further and quicker across both the land and sky.


Other Passes

Magic Connections

Looking for something a little bit More? Some of New Zealand’s finest scenic journeys are available as Magic Connections, which you can either add on to your pass or buy separately. These amazing 1, 2 or 3 day trips often get you further off the beaten track allowing you to engage with local New Zealand. If the transport pass you have chosen does not include the Bay of Islands, Coromandel, East Cape, Able Tasman, Milford Sounds or Catlins, we strongly recommend you to find a few more days in your itinerary and add these great trips in!

Magic Volunteers

Here’s your chance to give something back and Get Green Feet whilst you hop-on and hop-off around New Zealand. Magic Volunteer packages offer you the chance to get involved with the Magic Forest restoration project, the creation of an eco-corridor of native vegetation which will join two of New Zealand’s established rainforests. You will get involved in different forms of habitat restoration, join community groups on their environmental projects, work with indigenous Maori people and their culture, complete valuable monitoring work and learn and practice real field skills in conservation management. After completing your volunteer experience, we guarantee you will leave New Zealand with a sense of personal reward and satisfaction that you have contributed to Magic’s sustainable conservation project.
