28-day The Very Best of New Zealand from £6,995pp
New Zealand offers so much. From breath-taking and sometimes other worldly landscapes to its vibrant Maori culture; its welcoming and laid-back lifestyle to the unique flora and fauna; the list is endless.
This tour is one of our most popular, with plenty of time to appreciate everything that New Zealand has to offer.
Distant Journeys’ Very Best of New Zealand tour takes in all the sights that would top anyone’s wish list with the addition of some lesser-known gems that many itineraries just wouldn’t have time to visit. For instance, we discover the Art Deco city of Napier as well as Blenheim, located in the heart of Marlborough, one of New Zealand’s famed wine regions. Arguably the highlight of the tour is an unforgettable cruise on Milford Sound.
The tour provides plenty of free time to explore as you please, and truly does showcase this wonderful country in all its splendour.
The following itinerary is for departures from October 2025 onwards, If you are travelling prior to this date, please click here to view itinerary.

Freedom days
Discovering New Zealand with Distant Journeys gives you the perfect blend of an escorted tour experience, and the freedom to explore as you please. While we ensure you’ll see all the highlights of New Zealand, we also make sure you can personalise your touring experience to suit your interests. Maybe you’d like to sail an America’s Cup yacht in Auckland harbour or enjoy a winery tour in Central Otago? Well, during Freedom Days, you can choose from a range of activities to spend the days as you please.
And for the majority of experiences you don’t have to decide before you leave the UK – you can let your local Coach Captain know what you’d like to do up to the day before.
The majority of the optional excursions will be booked locally with your Coach Captain, but there are some that must be pre-booked before you depart the UK due to limited space and we suggest these are pre- booked at least 3 months prior to departure and no later than 30 days prior. Any requests within 30 days of departure will be subject to a 5% surcharge if they can be confirmed. Correct prices will be advised at the time of booking.
