Get closer to the extraordinary: New Zealand

New Zealand is a country like no other. With its other-worldly geothermal landscapes, snow-capped mountains, lush forests and pristine beaches, paired with its fascinating Maori culture, charming towns and vibrant cities – you’re guaranteed a trip of a lifetime.

Here are just a few of the extraordinary experiences you can expect on these tours

Natural New Zealand

New Zealand boasts some of the world’s most breathtaking and diverse landscapes, ranging from the subtropical bays and coves of Northland to the towering peaks and pristine glaciers of Fiordland. The North Island captivates with its ancient volcanoes, stunning coastal scenery, and unspoiled beaches, while the South Island offers dramatic mountain ranges, deep fiords, lush rainforests, and majestic glaciers.

You can explore this natural wonderland by cruising the tranquil Bay of Islands, traversing the scenic Southern Alps, and walking iconic trails like the Milford and Kepler Tracks. Along the way, there’s the chance to experience Rotorua’s bubbling geothermal geysers and encounter an array of wildlife, including whales, dolphins, seals, and diverse bird species.
