NZ Adventure

13 Days         Auckland to Christchurch
Price:            NZ1120   AU990   £500   €610   C$950   US$930


Departing Auckland we make our way to Northland, a region that is very small but blessed with two contrasting coastlines. Firstly, we drive the West Coast to reach the Bay of Islands and then drive down the East Coast to Leigh and the marine reserve of Goat Island. Rotorua, our next stop, is the North Island’s most popular tourist destination. From countless ground fissures, hot and steamy thermal activity, healing mineral pools and surrounding lakes, to Maori culture offering Maori art, architecture, song and dance - there is plenty to keep you occupied. Continuing south east to Hawkes Bay, visit the art deco lined streets of Napier or the Gannett colony at Cape Kidnappers. Wellington, our capital city, is next. We board a ferry to cross Cook Straight and enter the snow capped South Island through the stunning Queen Charlotte Sound. Passing through Marlborough, New Zealand’s top producing wine region, you will have time to sample award winning wines before driving along the rugged coast to Kaikoura. We then arrive in Christchurch.
