Itinerary

Day 1: New Zealand

On arrival you will be met and privately transferred to your accommodation. Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, set between two harbours with gentle sandy shores on the east coast and black sand, wild surf beaches on the west coast. Home to sheltered, sparkling blue waters dotted with beautiful emerald islands, we recommend getting out on the water when you are here.

Day 2: New Zealand

Today’s coach tour takes you through the rolling green hills to the iconic Hobbiton Movie Set, one of New Zealand’s ‘must-see’ destinations. See where the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies were filmed as your tour guide shares behind-the-scenes tales. You’ll ...

Day 4: New Zealand

Depart on your domestic flight to Christchurch. (Airfare is not included). Christchurch is set between the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the mighty snow-capped Southern Alps.
