Journey through New Zealand: Bays, Fjords, Mountains and More

Picking one highlight on this north to south New Zealand adventure is a tough call. Will it be Milford Sound/Piopiotahi with its towering fiords and waterfalls, seen on a cruise? The Bay of Islands, all jewel-blue water and island views from Auckland? Rotorua, where geysers roar and thermal springs do their thing? Or Queenstown, serving up mountain scenery on repeat. In between, you’ll mix buzzing cities with vineyard stops, epic train rides, beach time and plenty of Optional Experiences to make it your kind of trip. One country, two islands, loads of wow. This trip is accompanied by a Travel Director and Driver.
