From Auckland’s vibrant harbour life to the breathtaking Southern Alps

The curious traveller's guide to New Zealand

Exploring New Zealand: two islands, endless adventures

Start in Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, where harbour views, top galleries and lively neighbourhoods set the pace. Take the ferry to Waiheke Island for sandy beaches and vineyard lunches. Down south, discover Queenstown's highlights: hike dramatic ridgelines, explore Queenstown Gardens and taste world-class Central Otago pinot. Just a few inspiring gems that you may encounter during a memorable New Zealand tour.

What to see and do in New Zealand

Beyond the cities, New Zealand tours take you into wide skies and dramatic landscapes. Ride across high country near Windwhistle, soak in thermal pools or follow forest tracks to hidden waterfalls.

Meaningful Moments in New Zealand

Moments span quiet reflection and high-altitude thrills. Linger in the Auckland War Memorial Museum, then walk up Mount Eden for crater views. In the south, embark on night skiing at Coronet Peak or summer ridge walks – a highlight on many New Zealand tours.

Plan your visit to New Zealand

Create your own tour

Both islands fit easily into one trip. Begin in Auckland, then add Wellington for its harbourside charm before crossing to the South Island. There, Windwhistle offers a taste of Canterbury’s high country, and Queenstown makes an ideal base for day trips.

Memorable things to do in Queenstown

Glide up the Skyline Gondola for panoramic vistas of Lake Wakatipu, in a deep valley sculpted by ancient glaciers. Venture to historic Arrowtown for gold-rush charm, or retreat to the serenity of Milford Sound fiord on a boat tour, where sheer cliffs and drifting mist create a cathedral-like calm.

Unique experiences in New Zealand

Auckland wine tours can carry you from city tastings to Waiheke Island cellar doors. Queenstown helicopter tours reveal glaciers, razorback ridges and hidden alpine lakes with the chance to land on snow. Round things out with glowworm caverns or a long soak in mountain hot pools.
