A New Zealand North & South Island Adventure

See New Zealand unfold from north to south on this 17-day tour from Auckland to Christchurch. With a Small Group of no more than 24 travellers, accompanied by a Travel Director and Driver, you’ll discover Māori culture in Rotorua, discover Napier’s striking Art Deco heritage and taste your way through boutique wine country in Wairarapa. Meet locals who bring each place to life, from a fifth-generation beekeeper to the Pavlova Queen of Lake Tekapo. You’ll cruise through majestic Milford Sound overnight, explore aviation history in Blenheim and travel through landscapes that feel almost unreal. This is New Zealand at its most varied, most beautiful and most unforgettable.
