Itinerary
New Zealand's Most Popular Destination & Taking Sheep to the Barber Shop
Queenstown
5 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeOur tour starts in Queenstown, a vibrant resort which serves as New Zealand’s most popular destination. It is from here we make daytrips which are fun for all ages and types of travelers. In the evening, we take a cruise on the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship. While on the tour, we make a stop at a homestead which is known for its sheep, alpacas and a beautiful garden. After dinner, we visit a purpose-built amphitheater. There we see a farmyard of sheep shearing (cutting the sheep’s wool) and otherwise watch a ‘sheepdog round-up’ (the dog makes the sheep walk together as a group). Note that you can extend this standard 11-day tour by one day if you wish to jump off a 43-meter (141-foot) bridge called Kawarau. Kawarau is near to Queenstown. Bungee jumping is not for everyone. This is why we are offering it as a one-day extension to our standard 11-day tour around New Zealand. Let us know if you are interested.- AccommodationsHotel Room Bookings & Upgrades Offered After Tour Has Been PurchasedFood And DrinksDinner
A Pilot's View of Paradise as Well as Blue Lakes
Milford Sound
6 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday we make a daytrip to Milford Sound, getting to there and back to Queenstown by scenic flight. Upon arrival, we go on a boat tour cruising atop clear waters and in between postcard-perfect mountains. Milford Sound has been judged the world’s top travel destination in an international survey taken by TripAdvisor, receiving the Travelers' Choice Destinations Awards. Milford Sound is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist attraction. Please note that due to unpredictable weather conditions in and around Milford Sound, it is common our customers get to there or return from there by land. When this happens, stops are made so we can enjoy Lake Te Anau, Mirror Lakes, the mountainous Monkey Creek and a national park called the ‘Chasm’.
Landing on a Field of Ice & Leaving the World Behind
Glenorchy
8 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeToday we make a daytrip to Mount Cook (a.k.a. Aoraki) National Park, getting to there and back to Queenstown by scenic flight. Upon arrival in Mount Cook, we use a helicopter to land on a glacier. Of New Zealand's 20 peaks over 3,000 meters, all except one lie in this park. Glaciers cover 40 percent of the park area, notably the Tasman Glacier. After landing on it or on Franz Josef Glacier (depending on the weather), we go on a guided snow shoeing or crampon (again, depending on the weather) hike, seeing blue ice grottoes and caves. Please note that the minimum age for the glacier hike is 9.
Bob’s Peak, Skippers Canyon, Flying Like a Bird & a Rollercoaster-Like Boat Ride
Aoraki Mount Cook National Park (Te Wahipounamu)
4 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeOur morning starts at a picturesque gorge near to Queenstown, called Skippers Canyon. It is mostly one-way, narrow and steep with sheer drops of several hundred meters. After our scenic land expedition, we head to the nearby Shotover River. There we go on a very fast and swerving jet-boating ride. Next, we go to a place called Skyline Queenstown. There we take a cable car ride to the top of a mountain called Bob’s Peak. Beautiful views can be seen in every direction. Lastly, as an excursion from Queenstown, we head near to the village of Glenorchy. There we go zip-lining, using typically 6 lines in total.
Eating with the Islands' First People & Native Dances
Aoraki/Mt. Cook
4 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedAfter relocating by flight from Queenstown to the town of Rotorua, we head to Tamaki. At this Māori village, we learn about native rituals, watch a show and have a traditional dinner. The meal is included this evening.
A Natural Healing Pool, a Volcanic Crater & Hot Water Springs
Christchurch
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThis morning starts with a daytrip to the nearby Waimangu Volcanic Valley. On a self-guided tour, there we see volcanic craters, hot water springs and other geothermal features. Upon returning to Rotorua, we are taken to the so-called Hell’s Gate Geothermal Reserve and Mud Spa. There we bathe in a mud pool.
An Internationally Acclaimed Film Made Here & Glowworm Grottoes
Abel Tasman National Park
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeWhen relocating from Rotorua to the city of Auckland, two important stops are made along the way. The first is at the Lord of the Rings movie set, home to the internationally acclaimed Lord of the Rings trilogy. There we are provided with a guided tour and lunch. The other important stop before reaching Auckland is at the Waitomo Caves. There we are provided with a boat ride through glowworm grottoes. The site is spectacular, to say the least.- Food And DrinksDinner
