Fly once and see two countries: This trip is scheduled back to back with our Australia trip so that you can fly to the South Pacific once and see two countries. Ask about adding on the flight to combine the two trips. View the Australia trip details HERE.
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and a culture of the last country to be inhabited by humans.
New Zealand is blessed with perhaps the world’s largest concentration of stunning natural wonders, including geothermal pools, dramatic peaks, dense forests, scenic fjords and beaches.
In Rotorua, gaze at the turquoise-blue waters of geothermal pools, a cloud of mist hanging over the water, for a truly otherworldly experience. Head for postcard-perfect Milford Sound, exploring it from an awe-inspiring cruise to the mouth of the fiord. Set off on a jetboat safari on the Dart River, or hike on the shores of the flowing ice river of Franz Josef Glacier.
Yet New Zealand is much more than striking natural landscapes – and on a Brand g tour, we unveil the country’s cosmopolitan side as well. Discover New Zealand’s award-winning restaurants and wineries on a personally crafted culinary tour of the country, or take in the best of Queenstown and Auckland.
