NEW ZEALAND HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

From adventure sports to sightseeing, natural wonders to interesting towns, splendid beaches to volcanic landscapes, and bubbling thermal springs to Lord of the Rings locations. There is literally something for everyone to explore on a luxury holiday to New Zealand.

Amongst the country’s many high points is the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest building in Auckland, the rainforest of Coromandel, Hot Water Beach (the name is self-explanatory), the Maori culture of Rotorua and the famous Volcanic Loop Highway. Not to mention old whaling towns, Ninety Mile Beach – again, the name says it all – and the gentle buzz of family-friendly cities like Wellington.

Day 1-4

AUCKLAND

Begin with the first of many high points. In Auckland, you can enjoy unrivalled views of the city from the top of the 700 foot tall Sky Tower, the tallest structure south of the Equator, with its death-defying, glass-floored viewing platform.

Or you might prefer to take a short boat hop across the Hauraki Gulf to Waiheke Island, with its wonderful beaches, luxurious resorts and hinterland featuring deep green forests, rolling farmland and boutique vineyards.

Stay: Two nights in M Social.

Coromandel Peninsula | New Zealand Holidays | 91ºÚÁÏÍø
Day 5-7

COROMANDEL

Time to collect your car and head off on your voyage of exploration. The scenic Pacific Coast Highway will whisk you into the Coromandel Peninsular – an area of beautiful coastline backed by indigenous bush, natural rainforest and beautiful parklands. Go surfing at Whangamata – you can hire the gear – or visit Hot Water Beach where naturally heated water bubbles up through the sand.
If you take the ‘Kiwi Dundee Adventure’ you’ll be able to walk through an ancient kauri forest, visit a well-preserved 1890s gold mining town, see glow worms and learn about the local flora and fauna.

Stay: Three nights in a two bedroom apartment at Grand Mercure Puka Park.

Front View and Lakeside of Koura Lodge, Rotorua | New Zealand Holidays | 91ºÚÁÏÍø
Day 7-8

ROTORUA

A morning’s drive along the wonderful Thermal Explorer Highway takes you to the bubbling cauldrons of hot mud and the spouting geysers of Rotorua. This town is also the heartland of traditional Maori culture.
You may well be welcomed with a fearsome haka and indulge in a sumptuous hangi feast, but you can also opt for equally spine-tingling adventures like zorbing and luging down a winding track on a cart!

Stay: Two nights in a lake view family suite at Koura Lodge, on the tip of Kawaha Point.

Day 9-10

VOLCANIC LOOP

Follow the Volcanic Loop Highway and you’ll find yourself in astounding, alien-looking landscapes created by volcanic action over millions of years.
Fans of the Lord of the Rings movies may find the place eerily familiar; the countryside took a starring role in the films as the backgrounds for Mordor and Mount Doom.

Stay: Two nights in a suite at Tongariro Suites at the Rocks.

Wellington | New Zealand Holidays | 91ºÚÁÏÍø
Day 11-12

WELLINGTON

Wellington is a unique city in that it has a real cosmopolitan buzz, with the friendliness of a small town. It’s very pretty, being gathered around a charming waterfront and surrounded by a horseshoe of green hills.
You can spend your days in New Zealand’s capital city browsing through the excellent Te Papa Museum – with its absorbing, children-oriented discovery centres – or wandering around the interesting and stylish waterfront district.

Stay: Two nights in a two bedroom suite in Museum Hotel, opposite the Te Papa.

It’s time to say goodbye to New Zealand and head for home.
Unless you’ve decided to extend your trip to three weeks by sailing across the Cook Strait and enjoying a tour around the South Island. Or you could drive or fly to Auckland and spend a few days discovering Ninety Mile Beach, the old whaling town of Russell and the historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds..

Day 13-14

Auckland to London flight home.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91ºÚÁÏÍø were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Testimonial 4
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
