Our perfect route

Everything we offer is fully bespoke; the itinerary below is an example of what our experts can create with you.

Auckland

Nestled around two stunning harbours, this vibrant city offers panoramic views from the iconic Sky Tower. Explore the bustling Viaduct Harbour with its luxury superyachts, lively bars, and cafes. Visit the oldest park, surrounding an extinct volcano, and enjoy the elegant Wintergardens.

Waiheke Island

A slice of paradise just 40 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland. With its breathtaking vineyards, charming olive groves, and pristine beaches, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and shake off any jetlag. Spend a night or two soaking up the island’s relaxed vibe before continuing your New Zealand adventure.

Rotorua

Located on the shores of its namesake lake, Rotorua is renowned for its geothermal wonders and rich Māori heritage. In the Valley, you’ll discover bubbling mud pools and the dramatic 30-meter Pohutu Geyser, which erupts daily. The valley is also home to a vibrant Māori village and the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, where traditional wood carving and weaving skills are preserved. On your way from Auckland to Rotorua, you can also visit the famous Hobbiton movie set, without needing to stay overnight in the area where boutique hotels are more limited.

Marlborough Sounds

Enhance your New Zealand adventure with a visit to the remote and stunning Marlborough Sounds, a network of sea-filled valleys at the northern tip of the South Island. We recommend leaving your hire car behind and exploring the Sounds by boat, as many accommodations are accessible only by local water taxis. This is also the best way to discover secluded bays, hidden coves, and vibrant marine wildlife.

Kaikōura

On New Zealand's South Island, Kaikoura is famed for its wildlife, including thriving sperm whales. The Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway leads to stunning lookout points at Point Kean, while nearby rock platforms host lively New Zealand fur seals.

Lake Tekapo

Positioned perfectly between our other must-see destinations like Kaikoura and Queenstown, Lake Tekapo offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. Set against a stunning backdrop of snow-capped mountains, it’s the perfect place to enjoy stargazing under the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, one of the best stargazing locations in the world.

Queenstown

By Lake Wakatipu and the Southern Alps, Queenstown is the adventure capital of the world with bungee jumping from Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge and jet-boating on the Shotover and Dart rivers. Explore local vineyards, historic mining towns and during the winter months, hit the slopes in The Remarkables and Coronet Peak ski areas.

Two weeks in New Zealand starts at £4,500 per person (excl. international flights).
