Itinerary Inspiration
New Zealand is a land of awesome peaks, beautiful glaciers, fiords, geothermal hot spots and diverse animal life. Hike through the rainforests and waterfalls, take a scenic helicopter ride over Mount Cook or kayak around the unspoiled Stewart Island. Bungee jump off a Queenstown bridge or drive around the Milford Sound to spot fur seals and bottlenose dolphins. Unwind with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc in the Marlborough wine region. At night, view Auckland from the 220-meter Sky Tower or cruising around Lake Wakatipu on a restored vintage steamer. With breathtaking scenery and a wide variety of wild-to-cultured activities, your days and nights will be filled with adventures.
