What's this trip about?

    Begin your value-minded tour with three stunning nights on the Coral Coast of Fiji. Soak up the fun and sun of the Coral Coast and the genuine warmth of the islanders. Settle into your oasis with a few days to indulge in spa, golf, beach, or pool time in this island paradise. Your tour continues to Auckland, New Zealand with a two-night stay to start exploring this fascinating country. Enjoy a sightseeing tour of the city, including the Domain--its park surrounding a dormant volcano. You’ll travel through the lush farmland of Rotorua, home to New Zealand’s Māori (indigenous Polynesian people) culture, bubbling geothermal sites, and the setting for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies. You’ll learn about the region’s natural wonders, agricultural and creative traditions, and the Māori culture. Your affordable New Zealand vacation continues with big sights to see throughout the north island. You’ll travel past New Zealand’s largest lake, Lake Taupo, on your way to visit the art-deco city of Napier. Go sightseeing in the New Zealand capital of Wellington and take in its vibrant art and dining scene. See the Beehive and Parliament buildings, then take in the sweeping views of the harbor from Mount Victoria. Embark on one of the world’s most scenic ferry rides across the Marlborough Sound--keeping an eye out for dolphins, penguins, or whales on your way to Christchurch. Explore the land of towering mountains, rugged coastlines, and vast plains of New Zealand’s south island as you venture on to Queenstown. Enjoy free time to explore this “adventure capital” before your breathtaking cruise on Milford Sound. Here, be awed by waterfalls, sheer cliff walls, and tropical rainforests surrounding the home of seals, penguins, and dolphins. Your budget-minded escorted vacation from Fiji to New Zealand’s vibrant cities and scenic landscapes is a fantastic journey not to be missed.
