Planning delegate transport

Invercargill Airport (IVC) sits close to the city, so airport transfers are short — but flight schedules into Invercargill are limited, so confirm arrival waves before booking shuttles. For social programmes, factor in drive times: Bluff (for Stewart Island ferries and the Oyster Festival) is about 30 minutes south, and Queenstown is roughly a 2.5–3 hour coach trip. Match vehicle size to your group, build in buffer time for regional roads, and brief drivers on venue access and parking. For end-to-end coordination across multiple events, a PCO or DMC can manage transport alongside the rest of the programme.
