Encounter rare wildlife in Maungatautari Sanctuary Mountain, then marvel at the bioluminescent glow worms of Waitomo Caves.

In Tongariro National Park, experience the striking volcanic peaks of Middle Earth, then journey south to Wellington. The capital invites exploration, from its waterfront cafes to the treasures of Te Papa Museum. A scenic ferry ride across Cook Strait leads to Marlborough, home to world-renowned wines and picturesque sounds.

Ride the Coastal Pacific train along the rugged coastline to Kaikoura, where whale-watching and fresh seafood await. Board the TranzAlpine for a breathtaking ride through the Southern Alps before venturing into the West Coast’s lush rainforests and glacial valleys. Franz Josef Glacier offers a chance to witness a frozen wonder, while Queenstown thrills with its lakeside beauty and endless adventure.

Cap off your journey with a cruise through the fjords of Milford Sound, where waterfalls tumble from towering cliffs, before toasting your adventure aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw. New Zealand’s beauty is boundless—immerse yourself in it on this extraordinary journey.
