ESSENTIAL NEW ZEALAND

Experience the very best of New Zealand across the North and South Islands. Begin in Auckland before heading south to the Coromandel Peninsula and stepping into cinematic magic at Hobbiton. In Rotorua, immerse yourself in Māori culture at Te Puia, glide across Lake Rotoiti aboard a vintage Airstream, and wander the Redwoods under a starlit sky. Travel via Taupō to marvel at Māori rock carvings, then cycle through Hawke’s Bay’s celebrated vineyards. Cross to the South Island to explore Marlborough Sounds, Abel Tasman, and the wild West Coast, before Queenstown’s TSS Earnslaw cruise. Discover Fiordland on an overnight Milford Sound adventure, then finish with wildlife on the Otago Peninsula and a farewell dinner aboard Christchurch’s historic Restaurant Tram.
