New Zealand - Two Island Tour

Aotearoa delights the senses with outstanding local cuisine, fine wines and comfortable accommodation, matched by the warmth and generosity of it's small population, who set the benchmark for genuine hospitality. Straddling a powerful geological fault line, the country is shaped by the constant movement of the Earth’s plates. In the central North Island, this dramatic landscape centres on Rotorua, extending south to the volcanic peaks of Tongariro National Park and east to White Island in the Bay of Plenty, one of the country’s most active and accessible volcanoes.

​

The North Island is a land of living volcanoes, island sanctuaries and rich history. From the far north, where New Zealand’s political story began, you will travel through a tapestry of magnificent coastlines, rolling farmland and bubbling geothermal regions. Māori culture remains strong and deeply woven into everyday life, adding depth and meaning to the journey throughout the island.

The South Island presents nature at its most spectacular, where soaring alpine ranges meet tranquil sounds and rugged coastlines give way to vast plains. Glaciers spill from the Southern Alps near the Main Divide, creating landscapes of remarkable beauty. Few places on Earth offer such diversity, allowing you to experience mountain panoramas, ancient forests, volcanic terrain and dramatic coastline all within a single day.

​

A highlight of the journey is a cruise through Milford Sound, where sheer cliffs and towering peaks rise dramatically from the water. The iconic Mitre Peak soars more than a kilometre above the fjord, while waterfalls plunge from hanging valleys and lush rainforest clings to near-vertical rock faces, creating one of the world’s most breath-taking natural settings.
