Trip Highlights
Queenstown
Queenstown was a busy gold mining town in the 1860s. The gold petered out and the town became nearly deserted. The town is located on the shores of the stunning Lake Wakatipu and is known for being one of the most scenic locations in New Zealand. Rotorua
Nicknamed Sulphur City; Rotorua is famed for its hydrothermal activity, boiling mud pools and geysers. The town is also the centre of Maori culture and during your stay you'll have a `Hangi' the traditional pit oven meal of the Maori people. Mt John Observatory / Lake Tekapo
The five telescopes at an altitude of 1,029m atop Mount John form New Zealand's premier astronomical research observatory. You will be given a private tour of the facilities including the largest telescope in New Zealand. The setting of the observatory overlooking Lake Tekapo must be one of the finest terrestrial views from any observatory. Auckland city evening skyline
