Sick of seeing so many beautiful photos of New Zealand online and wanting to go see them in person? Make this a reality by joining our 15-day adventure through the best parts of Aotearoa, New Zealand!

We kick off the trip with 7 days on the North Island traversing across one of the most geographically diverse regions of the world - see beautiful coastlines, walk among geysers and geothermal pools, visit the filming location of the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring movies, ride on a boat through a cave filled with glowworms, and spend a full day cruising among the mesmerizing Bay of Islands.

After saying "See you later", to the North Island, we will take a 1-hour flight to dive deep into the South Island with a 8-day tour across the Southern Alps. We will explore some of the world's most beautiful natural wonders, including Mt. Cook, Queenstown, Tasman Glacier, and a cruise on the Milford Sound, which has been famed as the 8th Wonder of the World.

Price is $4,500 USD per person based on two people sharing a room. An additional cost may apply for a solo room.

A non-refundable $500 USD deposit is required to reserve your space.

Full payment is due 90 days before adventure start date.
