Tailor Made New Zealand: Two Island Journey

After a morning tour of Auckland, drive south toward Rotorua, known as "Sulphur City" for the volcanic furnaces that fuel its bubbling mud pools and geysers. Lunch at Oraka Deer Park before visiting the Rotorua Museum, arriving at your luxurious lodge late this afternoon.

Enjoy a leisurely morning at your lodge, situated on Lake Tarawera. Rotorua is known for its lakes as well as its geothermal activity and watersports options. Then, board the 'Clearwater' for a private lunch cruise with a stop at Hot Water Beach for a relaxing swim in the natural thermal waters.

Enjoy a behind-the-scenes visit to a Maori community and listen to their ancient Maori legends. Later today, fly to Queenstown, a city that draws adventurous travellers from all over the world.

Weather permitting, a helicopter whisks you off for a flightseeing excursion to Milford Sound. Land at a scenic lookout of one of the world's most picturesque areas for a delicious picnic lunch. Return to Queenstown, where the afternoon is free to explore at your leisure.

Queenstown lives up to its reputation for rugged adventure today. Select from activity options, including a Dart River jetboat safari, a Vineyard & Artists excursion, a round of golf at Millbrook or a Skippers Canyon private tour travelling through some of the most spectacular scenery in New Zealand.

Spend a morning at leisure before boarding a flight to Christchurch for a tour and a relaxing cruise in a punt on the tree-lined Avon River.

This morning, board a flight for your onward journey.
