New Zealand Adventure

Feb 8-19, 2008

12 days

New Zealand is unquestionably a country that merits its own separate holiday experience but it is also an ideal stopover enroute to Australia. As with the Best of Australia we have outlined our ideal 12 day comprehensive discovery of the North and South Islands. We’ve once again selected some of our favorite 4-star hotels and included unique touring to acquaint you with each destination. If your time is limited you can join the group for just the 8 day South Island portion which begins on Tue, Feb 12 in Queenstown. (South Island land only rates are available on request.)
