New Zealand: A North & South Island Adventure

Summary

New Zealand is one of the world's favorite travel destinations – and on our newest journey you'll travel by private charter plane, train and boat... spend multiple nights in the heart of New Zealand's favorite cities... attend a sheep dog demonstration, do some wine tasting, and have adventures in unique destinations along the way.

Embark on a 14-day journey that weaves together New Zealand's awe-inspiring landscapes, vibrant culture, and timeless traditions. From the glow of bioluminescent caves to the powerful haka of the All Blacks, every moment is a step into a world of wonder. Glide silently beneath a galaxy of glowworms, zip through native forests, and savor the warm embrace of Māori hospitality. Travel in style aboard a scenic train that reveals dramatic coastlines and lush vineyards, and enjoy the exclusive comfort of private charter flights that connect you seamlessly to the heart of each destination. Cruise tranquil sounds, scale scenic heights, and marvel at the ingenuity of both nature and history. Each day brings a new story, from serene farm vistas to alpine adventures.

Sightseeing by fixed wing plane or helicopter, on to Christchurch

Christchurch is one of New Zealand’s most English cities. The Anglisation of the area is quickly evident throughout. The name Christchurch, is named after one of the most famous Oxford Colleges. Traditional English styled punts can be seen drifting lazily along the Avon River, and customary striped blazers are still worn by students at Christ’s College.
