Crossing to the South Island involves a ferry ride to Picton before boarding the TranzAlpine train, travelling through the Southern Alps to Fox Glacier. Queenstown and Milford Sound follow, with chances to spot local wildlife and see waterfalls tumbling into the fjord. A visit to the glow worm caves near Te Anau and the unusual Moeraki Beach boulders add geological interest.

The tour concludes with four nights on Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, a Polynesian island with a beachfront resort, palm-lined beaches and a gently paced atmosphere. For all the charms of New Zealand’s varied landscapes, that extra time in the South Pacific lets you recover from the flight and find a slower rhythm before heading home.
