About New Zealand
New Zealand's South Island has some of the most impressive scenery in the world. This is the landscape that inspired Sir Edmund Hilary; it is where Mt Cook, the country's highest peak, can be found. Let's walk tracks carved by the ancient glaciers that formed magnificent Milford Sound and striking Franz Josef, and explore the beautiful towns of Christchurch and Dunedin.
The North Island is the dramatic result of thousands of years of volcanic activity that is still very evident today. The beautiful harbourside city of Auckland and the sophisticated capital of Wellington are separated by slumbering volcanic mountains, steaming thermal geysers, and refreshing clear lakes. Join us as we listen to ancient Maori legends and discover bubbling geothermal springs.
The Bay of Islands is New Zealand's gateway to the South Pacific. It was here that intrepid Polynesian navigators rested, where adventurous European sailors explored, and where powerful Maori warriors came to make a new beginning. Today this area is home to the country's most famous maritime national park - with its abundance of dolphins, whales, fishes and birdlife. Come with us and take the opportunity to go sailing these waters in search of marine life, or just relax and enjoy the spectacular ocean views.
We recognize that each traveller has specific interests and requirements; that each person has their own individual 'wants' that will make their New Zealand vacation all the more memorable.
