NEW ZEALAND PANORAMA – 7 Days

Day 1: Welcome to Queenstown

• Arrive at Queenstown International Airport. Welcome to Queenstown! The adventure capital of New Zealand.
• Meet & greet by your driver guide at the arrival hall and you will be transfer to Queenstown City. Check in to hotel. The rest of today is free at your own leisure. Overnight at the hotel.

Hotel: Millennium Hotel Queenstown

Day 2: Queenstown & Surrounds

• Arriving in New Zealand, the first thing you probably noticed is that there’s a lot of farmland. It’s fitting, then, that one of the first people you’ll meet is southern girl Laura, who will introduce you to the sheep farm she was born and raised on. Your next stop is Arrowtown, a former mining town so dreamy it looks like it has slipped straight from a movie set. Drop in on bijou boutiques, cafés, and bars along the tree-lined promenade. Come dusk, cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw; the only thing more inspiring than the peaks of the Remarkables that surround is the festive atmosphere welcoming you to Walter Peak High Country Farm, where a gourmet barbecue at the Colonel’s Homestead awaits..

Included Meals: Breakfast, Highlight Dinner
Hotel: Millennium Hotel Queenstown

Day 3: Queenstown Free Time

• You clearly need more than one day to appreciate Queenstown and its surrounds. And when we say surrounds, we meanMilford Sound. Today, sign up to dive deep into this yawning gorge within World Heritage-listed Fiordland National Park – it’s within easy reach of your base, and is best explored on an optional South Island tour that sees you jumping aboard boat to cruise the mirror-like waterway. Don’t be surprised if you see dolphins and seals playing in the wake of waterfalls. If you like things fast-paced, opt for bungy jumping, jet-boating or sip-lining. You are in the adventure capital of New Zealand, after all

Included Meals: Breakfast
Hotel: Millennium Hotel Queenstown

Day 4: Queenstown – Auckland

• Touching down in Auckland, you’ll immediately understand why it’s known as the ‘City of Sails’ – New Zealand’s largest city has two lovely yacht-filled harbours, which you can explore at our leisure this afternoon.

Included Meals: Breakfast
Hotel: The Grand by SkyCity Hotel

Day 5: Auckland – Rotoura

• Today is set to sparkle – quite literally – as thousands of bright green and blue glowworms light up your next destination: the cavernous Ruakuri Cave at Waitomo. From overhead attractions to those below the ground… this evening your Highlight Dinner is prepared in an earthen Hangi at Te Puia. Your meal, succulent meats and vegetables, hot chocolate and steamed pudding, is served while you overlook the spectacular geothermal valley. Cap it off with a moving Māori cultural performance in the beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. It’s an insightful and fun evening that will surely leave you with a newfound understanding and love for New Zealand.

The natural drama reaches boiling point at Whakarewarewa, a geothermal reserve and the country’s only living Māori village, home to famous Pohutu Geyser and the bubbling beauty of mud pools. You’ll cap off your day joining your Travel Director and companions for a Farewell Dinner at Poco Tapas & Wine, where the menu is designed for sharing.
