Experience New Zealand’s best spots!

Nestled within and isthmus of two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea, Auckland contains much serene natural beauty.  Auckland has so much to see and do - there’s plenty of entertainment for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks - museums, galleries, zoos and parks.  Swim with sharks or stingrays at Kelly Tarlton’s Antarctic Encounter or see a collection of intriguing artifacts showcasing New Zealand’s history and culture at the Auckland Museum. Climb the Bridge, take a chartered cruise around the harbor or jump off the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Collect your rental vehicle and drive south to Rotoura via the famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves.  Upon arrival in Rotorua, you will have a myriad of activities to entice and entertain.  Whether seeking to experience Maori culture, geothermal earth forces, spa rejuvenation, thrills and adventure, or any of the other natural assets such as 16 lakes, some of the world’s best mountain biking trails, fantastic trout fishing and myriad forest walking tracks – Rotorua delivers it all!

Return to Auckland and fly to Christchurch - the internationally famed ‘Garden City’ of the south.  Everywhere there is an understated elegance that speaks of times gone by and promises a future where anything is possible. Go punting on the Avon River, tour the Mona Vale Gardens, visit an array of museums including the Air Force Museum, the Canterbury Museum or the Centre of Contemporary Art.  Take a short trip to Akaroa to swim with dolphins, or travel north to see the whales outside of Kaikoura.

Fly from Christchurch to Queenstown is in the center of an area of extraordinary natural beauty and is an essential part of every NZ itinerary.  Paradoxically, although the area exudes a peaceful tranquility and gentle beauty, it also offers a wide range of fun filled and action type activities.  Take an exhilarating jetboat ride, bungy jump from a choice of locations or go white water rafting. Explore Milford or Doubtful Sounds, visit the historic township of Arrowtown or relax on an afternoon wine tasting journey.  Whatever your passion - Queenstown has it all!
