About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures sets off from Auckland, moving through the cultural heart of the North Island in Rotorua, where Maori traditions meet outdoor pursuits like surfing at Raglan. The itinerary swings south to Wellington for a city break before crossing to the South Island, where natural spectacles take centre stage.

Journeying along wild coasts, the tour visits the sculpted Pancake Rocks near Westport and Franz Josef's glacier region. Abel Tasman National Park offers a change of pace with boat trips and walks to seal colonies, while Queenstown serves up adrenaline options and lakeside charm. Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park completes the alpine chapter, and there's the possibility of Milford Sound cruising under towering rock faces. Days blend active pursuits with moments to take in the landscape and its layers of human story.

Accommodation is multi-share, and the group is accompanied by a CEO who balances leadership with local insight. Travel is by comfortable mini-coach, and most meals are flexible to suit individual tastes and allowances.
