NZ at its best, a full 35 days to experience it all, sea kayaking, glacier hiking and volcano trekking from the sunny Bay of Islands down to the Deep South.
Explore New Zealand like few others have on the ultimate adventure tour where every day is different from the last. Starting in Auckland we head south to Raglan, New Zealands surfing capital, where you can try your skills at the surf school before watching the sun go down over NZs rugged West Coast beaches, a great introduction to the relaxed way of life that is New Zealand. After walking through the awesome Waitomo Caves with the amazing absail option, its on to Mt Ruapehu for a good nights rest before tackling the famous Tongariro Crossing, a spectacular hike through a dramatic landscape of active volcanos and coloured lakes in the Central Plateau. Hike Mt Taranaki with a professional Alpine Guide taking in Wellington, the cultural capital of New Zealand with its fantastic museums and vibrant nightlife. This is our launching pad to the scenic South Island, as we jump aboard the Inter Island ferry bound for beautiful Nelson. Youre in for a treat with some of the most amazing sea kayaking through the Abel Tasman National Park, one of the most beautiful and sun drenched areas of New Zealand. Its off down the west coast, relaxing in quiet coastal towns and enjoying that authentic kiwi feel, before preparing for another dose of adrenalin with some glacier hiking across the icy wonderland of the Franz Josef Glacier. Not to be missed rain or shine. Famous for its bungy jumping Queentown, the adventure capital of New Zealand is next up with loads of awesome adventure activities to push the thrill factor to your personal level in an amazing setting. Milford Sounds and the Southern Catlins expose you to New Zealands scenic splendour before you head up the east coast past historic Dunedin and Christchurch and on to Kaikoura to swim with Dolphins or go whale watching, a once in a lifetime experience. Back to Wellington we head up the East Coast through Napier and Taupo, the worlds biggest crater lake, before taking in the impressive displays of Maori culture in the thermal wonderland of Rotorua. Its all about the beaches on our final few days, exploring Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel and further north the ancient Kauri forests and beautiful coastline of The Bay of Islands. New Zealand certainly has it all.
