New Zealand: Land of the Long White Cloud
New Zealand is a holiday destination of a lifetime. Explore the very best parts of this beautiful country, discovering the epic mountains, National Parks, rivers, and all the must-see attractions.
Overview
Stay in Auckland before traveling to the sub-tropical Bay of Islands– a wonderful region of historic towns and a deeply indented coastline filled with golden coves. Then journey to Hamilton and marvel at the world-famous Hamilton Gardens, before exploring Rotorua, one of the North Island’s greatest areas of geothermal activity with its spectacular geysers. Continue to the renowned wine-producing region of Hawke’s Bay, facing the Pacific Ocean, where you'll stay in charming Napier, famous for its unique architecture. From Mount Victoria, there are outstanding views of the capital city’s harbour.
New Zealand has gained a reputation as an outstanding wine-growing nation, and Marlborough is certainly one of the key regions for producing premium quality wines. The tour covers the highlights of this remarkable country, such as our trips on the TranzAlpine train and the helicopter flight over the beautiful Franz Josef glacier.
