Head on a 12-day road trip to the charming cities of New Zealand, stopping at natural marvels along the way. After getting acquainted with Kiwi culture in Auckland, the nation’s largest city, hit the road and head south across the North Island. Swing by Frodo’s Bag End at the Hobbiton Movie Set, gaze upon bubbling mud pools and gushing geysers in Rotorua and learn about Māori traditions before you fly to Christchurch on the South Island and continue your New Zealand road trip. Drive across the Canterbury Plains, visiting the turquoise waters of Lake Taupo and the mountainside waves of Lake Tekapo. Pass through The Remarkables range en route to Queenstown, where you’ll ride a jet board down the river valley and journey across the legendary landscape that inspired The Lord of the Rings movies. Cap it all off with an experience of beautiful Milford Sound from the air and water, flying high above the fjord in a helicopter before you cruise up to Mitre Peak.
