Depending on your preferred travel choice, you will either be met and privately transferred, or self drive to your accommodation. Auckland is New Zealand's largest city, set between two harbours with gentle sandy shores on the east and black sand, wild surf beaches on the west. Home to sheltered, sparkling blue waters dotted with beautiful emerald islands, we recommend getting out on the water when you are here. Overnight in Auckland.
Day 2 - Auckland - Waitomo - Hobbiton - Rotorua.
Journey through the rolling green hills of Waitomo and enjoy a tour through an underground wonderland of caves decorated with galaxies of glowworms.

Finishing off a visually fulfilling day, continue Rotorua, a bubbling and steaming destination like nowhere else. Overnight in Rotorua
Day 3 - Rotorua.
Rotorua is surrounded by a fascinating geothermal landscape with its unique steam vents, spouting geysers and bubbling mud pool set alongside freshwater lakes and majestic native forests.

Day 5 - Christchurch - Glacier Region.
Depart across the Canterbury Plains, a fertile patchwork made with every shade of green, through the spectacular scenery of Arthurs Pass National Park and on to the West Coast.

A temperate climate at a low altitude make Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers among the most convenient to visit in the world.
