Just a moment, your journey is on its way.An 11-day New Zealand small-group tour from India — Auckland, geothermal Rotorua, the fjords of Milford Sound and adventure capital Queenstown.
Discover New Zealand's breathtaking diversity on this 11-day small-group journey from India, travelling from the North Island to the South Island. Experience the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, explore the Waitomo glowworm caves and immerse yourself in Māori culture, cross Cook Strait by ferry, gaze over Lake Tekapo, cruise the fjords of Milford Sound and ride the gondola in Queenstown — all at an unhurried pace.
Welcome to Aotearoa. Arrive in Auckland and transfer to your hotel to rest. In the evening, visit the Sky Tower, the city's tallest landmark, for 360-degree views over the skyline and harbours from 328 metres up.
Cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge and head south to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, where a guided boat ride glides beneath thousands of glowing lights. Continue to Rotorua, New Zealand's geothermal heartland.
Start at the Agrodome for a light-hearted look at New Zealand farm life. Then explore Te Puia, with its bubbling mud pools, silica terraces and the Pohutu Geyser, and see Māori carving and weaving at the Arts & Crafts Institute.
Drive south with a stop at Lake Taupō, the country's largest lake, formed by an ancient volcanic eruption. Watch the landscape change on the way to Wellington, the capital, where the evening is at leisure.
Sail across the Cook Strait and through the Marlborough Sounds, one of New Zealand's most beautiful waterways. From Picton, board the Coastal Pacific scenic train past vineyards and ocean views to Christchurch.
Visit the International Antarctic Centre, then cross the heart of the South Island to Lake Tekapo and the little Church of the Good Shepherd. Arrive in Twizel, surrounded by alpine landscapes and star-filled skies.
Travel past the turquoise waters of Lake Pukaki, famous for its mountain reflections, and over the scenic Lindis Pass to Queenstown on Lake Wakatipu. The evening is free to enjoy the lakeside town.
Ride the Skyline Gondola for sweeping views over the lake and mountains, with an optional luge ride at the top. Later, enjoy a jet boat ride through narrow river canyons.
Set off early through the dramatic scenery of Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound. Cruise the fjord past waterfalls and sheer cliffs, then continue to the peaceful lakeside town of Te Anau.
Drive to Dunedin, arriving in the afternoon. The city is known for its Scottish heritage and Victorian architecture, and the rest of the day is free to explore the centre at your own pace.
Visit Larnach Castle on the Otago Peninsula, then stop at the Moeraki Boulders on the coast. Continue to Christchurch for a final evening before your transfer to the airport for the flight home.
