Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring landscapes, cultures, and cuisines of New Zealand on this 13-day journey far off the beaten tracks. Your journey begins with two nights in Christchurch at a lovely hotel where activities include punting on the River Avon... Stay at a lodge inside Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park where the landscape of rugged peaks and glaciers calls you to its hiking trails; ride a plane and/or helicopter to Tasman Glacier; lose yourself in the spectacular night sky (the park is one of the best places in the world for stargazing)… Ride a jet-boat on the Dart River... Take a 4WD safari – or a scenic flight over Milford Sound – or a helicopter gin tour – while in Queenstown... 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 and attend a private Maori dance performance... Fly to Auckland on the North Island for two nights at a waterfront luxury hotel, your base for exploring the city... and more.
