Scenic Trail  New Zealand Tour

27 Days             New Zealand:   Auckland to Auckland
Tour Type:         Overland          Camping, Hostels, Lodges.   

We explore New Zealand extensively on this tour and start by heading south from Auckland to Karangahake Gorge and Rotorua. After traveling on one of the last true back country highways, we spend time at Lake Waikaremoana and the Hawkes Bay Wine region. From here we travel via Rangitikei, Wairarapa and Cape Palliser to New Zealand’s capital, Wellington. Crossing the Cook Strait, you will travel through Molesworth Station before visiting Kaikoura and Hanmer Springs. After time in Christchurch, you spend unforgettable time in a High Country Station before stopping at Lake Tekapo and then pass through Central Otago - the middle of the South Island -  to reach Queenstown. Cruise Milford Sound, journey up the wild West Coast to Fox Glacier and Punakaiki.  Explore Abel Tasman National Park and cross back to Wellington on the ferry. After time spent in the capital, we drive north on The Forgotten Highway to Whangamomona, Waitomo and finally back to Auckland  where this fabulous journey will end.
