Tour overview

Explore Auckland, the City of Sails, before venturing south to Waitomo and the world-famous glow worm caves. From here travel to Rotorua, enjoying adventure activities and Maori culture. Leaving the North Island, you will pass the capital of New Zealand, Wellington, renowned for its great craft beer, wind and the "beehive" government building. Once across the Cook Strait, you'll pass the rich wildlife of the Kaikoura coastline, the Canterbury Plains, southern lakes and glacial areas. There are plenty of adventures on your journey, and highlights might include a helicopter ride over the glacier, the TranzAlpine train or even a swim with the world's smallest wild dolphins.
