New Zealand North & South

About this trip

Get to know a different side of New Zealand's North and South Islands on an epic adventure with a local leader. Start in the north, with its geothermal landscapes, Maori culture and remote backroads. Learn to shuck oysters from Maori locals in Ohiwa Harbour, and maybe go whitewater rafting in Rotorua. Follow the Forgotten World Highway to the quirky Republic of Whangamomona. Hike on a volcano and head underground to see glowworms. Then, explore the narrow strip of land sandwiched between the mountains and the Tasman Sea in the south. Millions of years of natural history are right in front of you, while the much more recent stories of the gold and coal rush can be found in heritage settlements. Wander through Christchurch and Queenstown, see Pancake Rocks and try craft gin – all while surrounded by gorgeous natural landscapes.
