22-Day Active Tour of New Zealand
Hike some of New Zealand’s ‘Great Walks’ and cruise around by boat and bicycle in the country’s very best sightseeing locations on the North and South Island. We’ll keep things exciting but also give you some space to catch your breath — you’re gonna need it. Across three weeks you can explore gorges, caves, active volcanoes and rivers, as well as making time for a winery visit and local culture, just to be sure you don’t miss out on anything.
