New Zealand: A North & South Island Adventure
Explore Christchurch... go punting on the River Avon... walk on Tasman Glacier... travel by helicopter... ride a jetboat on the Dart River and hike wilderness trails... discover a rich Maori cultural heritage... attend a sheep dog demonstration... and have adventures in world-class wine and cuisine along the way.
Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring landscapes, cultures, and cuisines of New Zealand on this 13-day journey exploring places off-the-beaten path. Your travels begin with two nights in Christchurch where activities include punting on the River Avon... A three-night stay in Queensland leads to wilderness experiences where the landscape of rugged peaks and glaciers is experienced on a jet-boat trip along the Dart Rive where you'll learn about the area's rich history and Maori legends - and a helicopter brings you back to Queenstown. Take a 4WD safari - or a scenic flight over Milford Sound - or a helicopter gin tour... stay two nights in the heart of New Zealand's winemaking region at Blenheim, where you'll visit a winery and a sheep farm, and cruise the fjord-like sunken valleys of the Marlborough Sounds... Discover the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, the extraordinary Redwood Nightlights, attend a private Maori dance performance... explore the world of the glowworm at the amazing Waitomo Caves... end your journey in Auckland for three nights at a waterfront luxury hotel, your base for exploring the city... and more.
