Take on the complete Aotearoa New Zealand travel experience, exploring the varied landscapes of both islands as you weave your way from north to south.
From the Waitomo glow worm caves, Rotorua geothermal area and volcanoes of Tongariro National Park in the north, go on to spend even more time hiking in the south - the Abel Tasman coast, Punakaiki’s lush green rainforests and the majestic peaks of Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Aspiring National Parks.
Cap off your time in this stunning country amongst the lakes and fiords in the vertiginous wilderness of Fiordland, before finishing in the exciting adventure destination of Queenstown.
The day hikes and short walks have been specially selected to get you into the best and most diverse wilderness areas of New Zealand. From strenuous alpine hikes to strolls along the beach, choose the walks to suit you.
