Epic Scenery, Wildlife Encounters Discover New Zealand on a custom group journey, weaving wild coastlines, vineyards, fjords, and island flavours into a seamless tale of land and sea.

Trip Overview:

Explore New Zealand on an eight-night adventure that blends wild coastlines, award-winning vineyards, and the grandeur of its southern fjords. 

Begin in Christchurch, a city of gardens and art, before a day trip to Akaroa, where French charm, marine life, and an Antarctic encounter set the tone for discovery. Journey south to Dunedin to witness the majestic royal albatross, then board a scenic rail that threads through valleys and mountains en route to Queenstown. Here, indulge in a wine experience among Central Otago’s celebrated vineyards and cruise the still waters of Lake Wakatipu. A dedicated Milford Sound excursion reveals towering cliffs and waterfalls, followed by the magical glow of Te Anau’s limestone caves. Continue north to Auckland, New Zealand’s cosmopolitan gateway, and spend a day on Waiheke Island, where boutique wineries and coastal dining showcase the country’s artistry with food and wine.

This carefully paced itinerary highlights the best of New Zealand’s South and North Islands, from albatross colonies and fjord landscapes to vineyard tastings and harbour cruises. Each day combines natural spectacle with cultural flavour, ensuring your group experiences both the wild heart and refined pleasures of a country shaped by sea, stone, and sun.
