Tour overview

This journey across Aotearoa takes you from the Coromandel Peninsula and the North Island’s geothermal heart to the South Island’s soaring alpine peaks and wild coastal shores. You’ll balance iconic cultural encounters and coastal explorations at Cathedral Cove with high-altitude thrills, featuring a flight into the majestic Milford Sound and a world-class rail crossing on the TranzAlpine.
