New Zealand Holidays Tucked in Kiwi Style

When gathering travel information, consider vacation packages that include all the highlights. One of the world’s most popular holiday destinations, New Zealand offers so many activities and travel options that it makes sense to capture its essence in a complete arranged tour.

Those with two weeks to spare can spend New Zealand holidays on a comprehensive tour through Auckland, Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, Wellington, Blenheim, Christchurch, Mt. Cook, Twizel, Dunedin, Te Anau, Milford Sound, Queenstown, and Franz Josef.

A whirlwind itinerary begins in Auckland and departs back from Christchurch through Qantas Vacations’ 14-day New Zealand holidays. Highlights include a Rotorua Hangi feast and traditional concert, awe-inspiring Milford Sound, and TranzAlpine Train journey.

Coach tours offer travel through the South Island’s dramatic alpine scenery, wilderness areas, glaciers and glacial lakes, peaceful fiords, and roaring rivers, plus the North Island’s stunning beaches, off shore islands, thermal resorts, green pastures, and Maori culture.

Another approach is to isolate interests with specific tour themes. Sensory exploration awaits on restaurant and winery tours. In particular, New Zealand’s internationally known sauvignon blanc and chardonnay is showcased in wineries at Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Haweke’s Bay, Gisborne, Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, Wanaka, and Queenstown.

Local New Zealand cuisine features Pacific Rim inspiration from places such as Europe, Thailand, Malasia, Indonesia, Polynesia, Japan, and Vietnam. Many restaurants throughout New Zealand appeal to the gourmand.

Distinct culinary New Zealand holidays would include lamb, pork, venison, salmon, crayfish, Bluff oysters, paua, mussels, scallops, kumara (sweet potato), kiwifruit, tamarillo, and pavlova, New Zealand’s national dessert.

Hangi feasts, a true Maori tradition, are not-to-be-missed highlihghts of any New Zealand vacation package.

Maori tourism is a theme that can predominate all by itself with fascinating language, tradition, and cultural attractions throughout New Zealand. Middle Earth is another facet that visits Lord of the Rings filming locations.

Adventure and adrenaline-triggering New Zealand outdoor activities are found on yet other packaged New Zealand holidays featuring cruises, sky diving, bungee jumping, scuba diving, river rafting, skiing, snowboarding, sightseeing, and more. Adventure, motorcycle, bicycle, kayak, hiking, bus, rental car, and campervan tours are all available from 3 to 40 days in duration.
