Your adventure begins in Auckland, the vibrant "City of Sails," before you step into the fantasy world of the Hobbiton™ Movie Set and experience Rotorua's incredible geothermal wonders and rich Maori culture. A flight then whisks you south to the stunning alpine playground of Queenstown, your base for an epic excursion into the majestic Milford Sound, where sheer cliffs plunge into deep, dark waters. From there, your tour continues with a spectacular overland journey, pausing to admire the brilliant turquoise lakes and the snow-capped peak of Aoraki/Mount Cook, before concluding in the resilient and charming Garden City of Christchurch.

Day 1: Arrival in Auckland

Upon your arrival, you will be personally met and chauffeured to your accommodation. Settle in and begin to explore Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. This vibrant metropolis is uniquely situated between two distinct harbours: the east boasts calm, sandy shores, while the west is famed for its dramatic black-sand surf beaches. The city's sheltered, sparkling blue waters are dotted with emerald islands, making a boat trip or ferry ride an essential Auckland experience. You will spend the night in Auckland.
