Best of New Zealand with Fiji & Sydney (20 Days)
It’s true that sheep outnumber people in New Zealand five to one, but lucky for ewe, this untamed land also boasts an impressive number of soaring mountains, lush rainforests, and stunning fiords. Gear up for New Zealand’s North and South Islands with the ultimate island kick off. Start your tour of the South Pacific with three days in Fiji to soak up the fun and sun of the Coral Coast and the genuine warmth of the islanders. In New Zealand, the North Island’s Bay of Islands sets the stage for the abundance of spectacular sights you’ll see on both of the country’s breathtaking islands. Rotorua’s shooting geysers are only surpassed by the South Island’s soaring Southern Alps, which you’ll reach from charming Christchurch by way of the scenic TranzAlpine train. Throughout your tour of New Zealand, you’ll have the opportunity to admire incredible views of the Franz Josef Glacier, warm your toes in natural hot springs, and partake in all of the fun that Queenstown, the “Adventure Capital of the World,” has to offer. With so many ways to work up an appetite, you’ll appreciate a special barbecue on a local farm and dinner at a New Zealand family’s home. Before heading home, make a stop in Sydney. With its sparkling harbor, trendy beaches, and happy, go-with-the-flow locals, nothing makes a splash quite like the city of Sydney. Cap off your tour of New Zealand with an extra three days in the “Harbour City” for some Aussie-fueled culture and fun.
