Luxury New Zealand Holidays

How would you like to travel across the globe to experience New Zealand?  A country of breath-taking scenery with towering mountains and lush green landscapes where the great outdoors is the only place to be.  You can also discover world-class wines, charming cities, and quiet beaches on your trip of a lifetime to beautiful New Zealand.

OUTDOOR PURSUITS, FINE WINES, AND INSPIRING HISTORY

New Zealand is packed full of possibilities for adventures and experiences that are more than worth the mileage you will travel to get there.  Choose between the North Island or South Island, or experience both on a multi-centre adventure.

New Zealand’s North Island promises jaw-dropping nature like the spectacular thermal wonderland of Wai-o-Tapu.  Sculpted through thousands of years of volcanic activity, this geothermal park with erupting geysers and bubbling mud pools is a must-see experience for your trip.  Scour the horizons for native whales and dolphins on a private cruise around the Bay of Islands, or embark on an epic trek across the Tongariro Alpine Crossing at the World Heritage Site of The Tongariro National Park.  When you are ready for a more restful day, enjoy people watching and fine food in the buzzing city of Auckland and take a private wine tasting tour of the renowned Hawkes Bay Vineyards.

The South Island of New Zealand has its own extraordinary scenery with dramatic mountain slopes and glorious views over fjords and crystal-clear lakes. On the shores of Lake Wakatipu lies the lively city of Queenstown¸ a mecca for water sports lovers and adrenaline junkies alike.  Bungee-jumping from the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge and jetboating are popular in summer, whilst the winter months attract skiers who flock to the slopes of the Southern Alps to get their kicks.

Away from the outdoor adventures are the pretty and historic city of Christchurch where the streets are dotted with British colonial buildings, and peaceful open park areas, and the harbour town of Akaroa where you can take a dolphin cruise across the bay in search of the rare Hector’s Dolphins.

Whatever your interests and passions, they will be catered for in wonderful New Zealand.
