Tour overview

Beginning in Christchurch, this itinerary tracks north through the marine sanctuary of Kaikōura to the golden shores of Abel Tasman. After a scenic voyage across the Cook Strait, you will arrive in Wellington for a day of independent exploration, perfectly balancing the rugged landscapes of the South Island with the refined urban culture of our capital city.

The journey continues through the geothermal heart of Rotorua before heading to the sub-tropical Bay of Islands, a maritime paradise steeped in history. Finishing in Auckland, this route provides the essential logistics and premier locations of a classic New Zealand tour.

While this itinerary serves as a great starting point, we invite you to connect with our travel specialists, who can help tailor these experiences into a larger New Zealand journey personalised to your interests.
