About
Peter Jackson cast New Zealand in a leading role in his on-screen adaptation of The Lord of the Rings for good reason, and this eight-day experience immerses travellers in the staggering scenery of a country that so closely resembles a fantasy land. Starting in the North Island, coastal Auckland – also known as the ‘City of Sails’ – offers up the unmissable experience of chartering an America’s Cup yacht in the Hauraki Gulf. Culture and conservation springs forth from the geothermal landscape in Rotorua, a region of great importance to the Māori people, whilst Queenstown’s vines and valleys invites wine-lovers and adrenalin junkies alike.
