New Zealand Tour Packages (13 Nights / 14 Days )

This morning we will either head to the beach for some kayaking or dig some hot pools depending on what we managed to fit in the night before.

Then we head south to Rotorua, home to smelly hot pools, hobbits and more!

There’s heaps to do here – check out the bubbling mud pools at one of the geothermal parks, walk around the lake or even hike or bike the stunning Redwood Forest just on the edge of town. Looking for adventure? Check out luging, zorbing or give white water rafting the mighty Kaituna River a go. We’ll head to RockSolid for the night, the only accommodation in New Zealand with its very own rock climbing wall!

Tonight you have a chance to visit Tamaki Maori Village and try a traditional hangi for dinner.

Today’s the day to tick all of those crazy activities off your bucket list! LOTR fans, get to see where it was all made with a Hobbiton movie set tour and maybe a pint of Southfarthing Lager or two. For the rest of us, there’s also ziplining, white-water rafting and Redwoods walks. You’ll have the time to fit in 2-3 activities depending on how long they run, just check with your guide.

For the next part of our journey we head to Taupo, the adventure capital of the north island. Discover the thundering Huka Falls and the trout-filled rivers before we head for a sunset beer by the stunning Lake Taupo.

After breakfast with a view, you’ll have the day to explore the lake from the water’s edge or 15,000ft above it!! Up to you. Spend the day conquering the Tongariro Crossing or jetboating, sailing, exploring or bungy jumping – you’ll be spoilt for choice in Taupo! After an exciting day, wind down over a glass of wine or a craft beer from a local brewery and tell your fellow travellers all about the awesome things you have been doing.

We have an early start this morning so we can hit the road and leave the great lake behind as we head to Raglan. Before we get to the surf township, we have the underground caving town of Waitomo to navigate through with 3.5 hours here to get your adventure fix for the day. Wet or dry, we’ve got you covered! Your guide will be on hand to help you plan your time in Waitomo.

From Waitomo, we head to Raglan for the night at a home away from home. Raglan is home to the world’s longest left-hand break. Tonight’s accommodation is the perfect place to soak up your last night on the Northern aspect of your tour.

Get up early this morning for your epic surf lesson on this infamous surf beach. Then at around 1 pm, we’ll set off for our final journey back to where it all started. We’ll make sure to make plenty of photo stops and may even stop off at New Zealand’s favourite ice cream place!

We’ll get to Auckland airport at approximately 4 pm where we’ll hop on our flight down to Christchurch. Your flight will be booked for 6 pm or 7 pm and you will receive your boarding pass from the Wild Kiwi office crew the day before. Once you arrive in Christchurch, you’ll be transferred to your accommodation for the night, JUCY Snooze Christchurch.

The South Island kicks off from Christchurch as we head for the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo at one of New Zealand’s most insta-worthy spots. Explore the local bike trails before you relax in the lakeside hot springs for some stargazing at the world’s largest Dark Sky Reserve .

From here we make our way through the tall, tussock-covered mountains of Lindis Pass before landing in the adventure capital of the world - Queenstown.

Larger-than-life waterfalls, ancient forests, awe-inspiring mountainscapes and leaping dolphins, welcome to UNESCO-listed Milford Sound. After taking in the spectacular scenery cruising the fiord, kick back with a beer, drop into a party or devour NZ’s famous burger - the Fergburger.

Bungy jumps, canyon swings, or horse riding; whatever your adventure threshold, there’s something in Queenstown for you to choose from! Try one of New Zealand’s most scenic skydives, hit the trails for a bike ride, go luging or jet boat up the canyon.

After a break in picturesque Wanaka, prepare to be dazzled as we travel along rugged coastline beside ancient rainforests, icy glaciers, and crashing waterfalls as we head over Haast Pass, before we arrive at the gateway to glacier country – Franz Josef.

Crampons at the ready, Franz Josef could be the most beautiful place you'll ever set your eyes on. Explore the stunning formations made over thousands of years, where you can hike, helicopter - or both! Want something at a lower altitude? Quad bike, kayak or relax in glacier hot pools, before kicking back with a cold drink to soak it all in.

After a quick stop off at beautiful Hokitika, experience a spectacular journey through Arthur’s Pass amongst the stunning snow-capped Southern Alps. Then it's back to Christchurch where our epic journey comes to an end. Fear not, we’ll say our goodbyes, hug it out and leave with stacks of great memories.
