New Zealand Tour Packages
Fiords at Milford Sound, adventure in Queenstown, geysers in Rotorua, the Hobbiton movie set and quiet lakes under snow peaks. New Zealand is a scenic, safe country that suits couples, families and nature lovers.
New Zealand Tour Overview
New Zealand has big scenery in a small country. The North Island has Auckland, Rotorua's geothermal parks and Maori culture, Hobbiton, Wellington and the Bay of Islands. The South Island has Christchurch, Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Franz Josef Glacier and Kaikoura. The drives are scenic, with lakes, mountains and sheep farms along the way.
A first trip is often 10 to 12 days across both islands, or 7 to 8 days in one island. Queenstown is the adventure capital, and Milford Sound is a day trip from there. We plan hotels, transfers, scenic train rides and coach tours around your dates and group.
