The Very Best of New Zealand (25-26)

New Zealand offers so much. From breath-taking and sometimes other worldly landscapes to its vibrant Maori culture; its welcoming and laid-back lifestyle to the unique flora and fauna; the list is endless.

This tour is one of our most popular, with plenty of time to appreciate everything that New Zealand has to offer.

Distant Journeys’ Very Best of New Zealand tour takes in all the sights that would top anyone’s wish list with the addition of some lesser-known gems that many itineraries just wouldn’t have time to visit. For instance, we discover the Art Deco city of Napier as well as Blenheim, located in the heart of Marlborough, one of New Zealand’s famed wine regions. Arguably the highlight of the tour is an unforgettable cruise on Milford Sound.

The tour provides plenty of free time to explore as you please, and truly does showcase this wonderful country in all its splendour.
