Fantastic Destinations
There are so many destinations included in this package, ranging from the phenomenal Mount Cook to the fabulous Hanmer Springs and Napier and so many more. A few of the key destinations are below:
Auckland - Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping - you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland.
Auckland’s blend of harbour, islands, Polynesian culture and modern city environment has created a lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world. The parks and gardens of Auckland are bursting with life in spring, and there are dozens of beautiful places to enjoy just minutes from the central city.
Christchurch - From the silvery beaches of the coast to the jagged peaks of the Southern Alps, the Canterbury landscape is impossible to ignore. The highest point of the region is the highest point of New Zealand, the spectacular Aoraki Mount Cook. At the other end of the scale, the submarine trenches off the coast of Kaikoura provide an ideal environment for the whales, dolphins and seals that live there permanently.
In Christchurch, great care has been taken to preserve its colonial heritage. Grand architecture, historic homesteads and immaculate parks intermingle with the technology and style of modern life.
Queenstown - The first people to discover Queenstown's rare beauty were Maori pounamu (jade) hunters. Today Queenstown is treasured for its magnificent scenery, adventure opportunities and luxury lifestyle. You can count on designer shopping and marvellous cuisine experiences. Queenstown's compact downtown area is a cosmopolitan hub that's relaxed during the day and huge fun at night.
