This week-long tour covers the highlights of New Zealand while still allowing for a leisurely pace. Enjoy private tours in each location, a variety of stunning landscapes, and several of New Zealand's most acclaimed accommodations, including hotels, a countryside retreat on a rural working farm, and two elite luxury lodges.

Begin in Taupo with two nights at Huka Lodge, one of New Zealand's most acclaimed lodges. While there, enjoy a half-day private tour according to your interests. Options include a private cruise on Lake Taupo and the opportunity for fly-fishing, touring Maori and geothermal attractions in nearby Rotorua, or visiting geysers, steaming lakes, and a buried village in the Taupo region.

Next, fly to the South Island and spend several nights in the Canterbury countryside at an historic, luxurious homestead. While there, touring highlights include a 4WD tour of the working sheep and cattle station—a quintessential NZ experience—and a private tour of beautiful Arthur's Pass National Park.

The tour concludes in Glenorchy, near Queenstown, surrounded by the majestic Southern Alps. While there, we'll arrange for you to take a thrilling Dart River jet boat safari into the magnificent landscapes of Mt. Aspiring National Park. Another day, take a spectacular private flight over the Alps to Milford Sound, one of New Zealand's most famous and dramatic attractions. This memorable tour also includes a glacier landing.
