Pure New Zealand Adventure

From the neon-blue glow of subterranean caves to the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps, this 17-day journey across New Zealand is a masterclass in natural wonder. Spanning the full length of the country from Auckland to Queenstown, this itinerary weaves together the North Island’s geothermal marvels, including the legendary Tongariro Alpine Crossing, with the South Island’s wild West Coast and the sun-drenched shores of Abel Tasman National Park.

The adventure begins in vibrant Auckland before heading south to the luminous Waitomo Caves and the cultural heart of Rotorua. You’ll venture off the beaten track to Lake Aniwhenua and the remote Blue Duck Station, then conquer the volcanic terrain of Tongariro National Park en route to Wellington. After crossing the Cook Strait to Picton, the trail leads through the golden sands of Abel Tasman (Marahau), down the wild West Coast to Hokitika and Franz Josef Glacier, finally winding through Wanaka to the grand finale in Queenstown.

This is an intrepid adventure designed for those who want to feel the pulse of the land rather than just view it through a window. Perfect for the active explorer, the itinerary features rewarding treks of up to 20 kilometres through diverse landscapes. Whether you are exploring past emerald volcanic lakes or exploring the ‘Adventure Capital’ of Queenstown, this expedition offers a raw, immersive look at the real New Zealand.

To truly showcase the best of Aotearoa's stunning landscapes, your 16 nights of accommodation include a mix of 3 and 4-star hotels and unique specialty lodges.
