25 Days Auckland to Wellington
Price: NZ1900 AU1690 £850 €1040 C$1640 US$1570
We leave Auckland and head up the west coast to the Bay of Islands where you can either travel to 90 mile beach or spend the days cruising the many islands off the coast. Next stop on our itinerary before heading to Rotorua is Hahei and Coromandel Peninsular. In Rotorua you will get to tour a local Maori village followed by a traditional concert and meal. We then drive through the geothermal centre of New Zealand to Hawkes Bay. After spending time in Wellington, we cross to the South Island by ferry. We tour the wineries of Marlborough on our way down the coast to Kaikoura where you may see the mighty sperm whale. From Kaikoura it’s onto Christchurch and Dunedin. We then make our way further south and arrive at Milford Sound, often described as ‘the eight wonder of the world’. A short drive takes us to Queenstown, the action adventure capital of NZ. We make our way north up the rugged and heavily forested West Coast of the South Island and stop at Fox Glacier, where you can walk on glacial ice or take a scenic flight over Mt Cook. Our last stop is Abel Tasman National Park. We then board our ferry back to the North Island and Wellington.
