New Zealand Grand Adventurer 14
Days - End Queenstown
18-35 Year Old College Students and Young Professionals
Overview
This vacation is all about
satisfying your adrenaline cravings. Rest and relaxation are so
overrated! Start your trip off by black water rafting the underground
caves of Waitomo and hit Rotorua to catch a classic Agrodome farm
show (go ahead…pet a sheep or two). Try the Zorb or skyline gondola
and end your day chilling in a Polynesian thermal pool. Take in an
optional Maori Hangi, parasail over Lake Taupo and head to the
adventure-adrenaline ‘Capital of the World’, Queenstown. Ever tried
bungee jumping, sky diving, jet boating, river boarding, luging,
canyon swinging or four-wheel driving? Now’s the time! Dry off, catch
your breath and experience Queenstown's legendary nightlife, before
the good times must come to an
end.
Itinerary
Day 1 and
2 Depart for New
Zealand
Fly over the international date line on your way to
New Zealand.
Day 3 Auckland to
Waitomo
Kia Ora! Meet up with your Crew in Auckland, New
Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city. Surrounded by
volcanoes, islands and a stunning harbour, you’ll soon understand why
this is the “City of Sails” and was once home to the America’s
Cup.
We then drive through the lush farmlands of Waikato – an area that produces
many of New Zealand’s best rugby players for the All Blacks.
Next up is Waitomo and the Waitomo Caves. Famous for their incredible
limestone formations and glow-worms, the caves are a stunning subterranean
world. You’ll see the Glow-worm Grotto, where the cave roof is covered with
twinkling insects.
For adventure, you can head deeper into the caves in an optional activity
and see them either on foot or by tubing down an underground river.
Tonight, it’s a pizza dinner and a visit to a typical country pub – the
perfect way to get to know the other travellers, your Tour Manager and
Driver. Kick back with your new friends and some of the locals. Maybe try
out the local beer – it’s good!
(D)
Day 4 Waitomo to
Rotorua
This morning, we stop at the Agrodome farm show for an
interactive introduction into farming and agriculture, which is New
Zealand’s main industry. You’ll see sheep-shearing and watch an
impressive sheepdog demo. These dogs are highly-trained and skilled
at controlling livestock.
Later, we pull into Rotorua, famous for its spurting geysers, boiling mud
pools, hot springs and ‘interesting’ sulphur smell.
For some crazy ‘Kiwi ingenuity’, try an optional called zorbing. It’s an
activity where you get inside a huge plastic ball and roll down a 200m
hill, either by yourself or with a friend.
Rotorua is an important hub of Maori culture. To recognise this, we have an
optional authentic cultural experience, complete with a fantastic Maori
hangi and traditional dance concert. Some of the foods you can try from the
hangi are sweet potato and chicken cooked on hot rocks in an underground
pit – just as they have been for centuries. Listen to stories, songs and
chants while learning about ancient Maori mythology and beliefs.
(B)
Day 5 Rotorua to Taupo
On the way to Taupo, a visit to the raging Huka Falls
will impress. Tonnes of water surge over these falls at a rate of
220,000 litres (58 000 gallons) per second.
It’s only a short drive today to the popular low-key resort town of Taupo.
Here, there’s some of the best trout fishing in the country and some of the
most amazing long-distance views of Tongariro National Park’s three
volcanic peaks.
Cap off your day with our optional dinner cruise out on New Zealand’s
largest lake – Taupo. You can have a go at fishing and after dinner,
karaoke!
Later, back on land, play some pool at one of Taupo’s lakeside bars.
(B)
Day 6 Taupo to
Wellington
Spot the dramatic volcanic landscapes that were used
as backdrops in the Lord of the Rings today, when we drive past World
Heritage listed Tongariro National Park. The park is also home to the
still active volcano, Mt Ruapehu, which doubles as NZ’s biggest ski
field.
Next stop – the capital city of Wellington. It’s the country’s political
centre and cultural core with funky shops, fringe festivals, galleries, as
well as a huge amount of cool cafes and bars.
The peak of Mt Victoria gives an amazing overview of the windy city. Take
in the sweeping views of pretty beaches, narrow streets, and weather worn
Victorian houses.
Tonight, enjoy an optional dinner with the group in the heart of the
downtown area, which has a great, lively atmosphere and plenty of cutting
edge restaurants and bars.
(B)
Day 7 Wellington
You’ve got a full day to discover Wellington – its
compact centre is perfect for exploring on foot.
Walk alongside the harbour or visit the innovative Te Papa Museum for a
look into New Zealand history and culture.
You could take a tour around New Zealand’s political heart by visiting some
of its government buildings. Hear about the architecture behind the iconic
‘Beehive’ building & its distinctive shape, which was specially
designed to cope in case of an earthquake.
You could hang out on alternative Cuba Street, watch street performers or
rummage through some of the surrounding retro stores. If you’re hungry, try
out some of the great ethnic foods you can find in this multi-cultural
city, like sushi, Thai, kebabs and Italian gelatos.
For something different, learn about the age-old art of tattooing at the
Tattoo Museum. From traditional Maori moko (face tattoos) through to
colourful contemporary designs. There’s even a tattoo parlour on site if
you’re game!
(B)
Day 8 Wellington to
Christchurch
Jump on the Inter-Island ferry and leave the North
Island behind. The South Island means a complete change of scenery
with loads of wild nature.
Cruise through the gorgeous Marlborough Sounds, where thick forested peaks
rise straight up from the sea. It’s a camera-friendly spot with picturesque
inlets, remote coves and tiny beaches that dot the islands. You’ll also see
some old wooden baches (New Zealand holiday houses) and boat jetties.
After the cruise, it’s another jaw-dropping drive to Kaikoura, via
Marlborough’s wine country. We travel on to the wild, rugged east coast and
stop at a seal colony, before passing through Kaikoura. This seaside
settlement is known for whales, dolphins and delicious, fresh crayfish sold
from roadside vans.
The coach cuts across the Canterbury Plains to New Zealand’s most English
city, Christchurch.
In your free time, head straight out into town and uncover Christchurch’s
up-and-coming quarter around High Street. Old brick lanes and alleys have
been restored and are now packed with backroom bars, cool eateries, funky
stores and cafes. Explore this area in a fun night out with your new
friends.
(B)
Day 9 Christchurch to Franz Josef
Glacier
Your Tour Manager shows you Christchurch’s historic
spots on a morning tour. See the English flavour Christchurch is
famous for and take in the Anglican Cathedral on the central square,
the old-style trams, wide boulevards and manicured gardens. There’s
also the former university, which is now the happening Arts Centre.
It’s busy with arts & crafts stalls, cinemas and a theatre.
We travel west through stunning Arthur’s Pass, following an old trade
route. The dense native forest, alpine atmosphere and crystal clear rivers
give the area its pioneer feel.
We’ll stop in at the former gold rush town of Hokitika on the West Coast.
It’s great for a look into a traditional Maori art. Watch authentic carvers
work with New Zealand greenstone (jade) and learn about the importance of
this stone. You could even pick up a piece to take home.
Sticking to the untamed coastline, we arrive in the Westland National
Park.
Franz Josef is our stop for the night, a town where lush bush land and
glaciers almost reach the sea.
(B,D)
Day 10 Franz
Josef Glacier to Queenstown
This morning, get physical and pull on your crampons,
grab an ice-pick and head out onto the ice of either the Franz Josef
or Fox Glacier. On this optional activity, you’ll learn about how
these glaciers came about with our professional Local Guides.
Otherwise, you can get a bird’s eye view over these icy formations and
sweeping vistas in an optional helicopter ride.
Relax on the coach, chat with friends and take in the stunning scenery as
we head down to Queenstown. Cruise past remote beaches and the coastal
dunes of the west coast before hitting Haast Pass. Ancient rainforests,
small glaciers and waterfalls give this area its unique atmosphere.
There’s even more scenery changes when we cross the Southern Alps and enter
the region of Otago, with its golden grasslands, cliffs and hills.
Next up: Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world. This is one
high-energy destination that has something for everyone. From jet boat
rides to fantastic local food, gorgeous countryside and the world’s most
southern wineries, the list really is endless.
(B,D)
Day 11 and 12 Queenstown
With two days here, you’ve got time to try out
adrenaline-pumping activities, to take it easy with a glass of local
wine or beer and of course, to party – something Queenstown in known
for.
If the season’s right, get into the alpine action and hit the slopes of
some New Zealand’s best ski resorts over the next two days. Ski and board
for 2 full days and explore what the Southern Hemisphere has to offer. Take
off at your own pace or carve up the mountain with some friends. We can
even organise ski equipment and lessons for you, so you don’t need to worry
about a thing.
Walk around the quaint town, hit the shops or head down to the lake for
beautiful views of the surrounding mountain ranges, fittingly called The
Remarkables. Board the old steam boat, the TSS Earnslaw, for a lake cruise
and see it all from the water.
For adrenaline junkies, there’s bungy jumpy, sky diving, jet boating,
canyon swinging and 4W-driving. In fact there are so many adventure
activities in Queenstown that you couldn’t do them all in the 2 days if you
tried. For those who like to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground,
take an easy-going hike or push yourself with a tougher trail.
Pumping at night, Queenstown is the place to hit some of New Zealand’s best
bars and clubs. With cool cocktail bars, old-style pubs and plenty of
clubs, there is so much to choose from.
(B)(B)
Day 13 Queenstown to Milford
Sound
On the way out of Queenstown, we stop at the famous
bungy-jumping bridge in the gorgeous Kawarau gorge. It’s home to the
original AJ Hackett bungy, the ground breaking site where the now
famous bungy all started. There’s time to have a go yourself, if
you’re keen.
We travel deeper into the south through to Fiordland National Park, a
UNESCO World Heritage listed site. Get ready for the epic scenery of
Milford Sound, where high mountains rise straight out of the sea and
waterfalls pour down sheer cliffs into the deep, dark waters of the
fjord.
Get another angle on this natural wonder from the water when we board our
overnight cruise and learn about this jaw-droppingly beautiful region from
the on-board nature specialist. You’ll get a really good look around the
area and up close to its more hidden spots.
You can chill out and enjoy the scenery on deck or get out onto the water
and have a go with the paddle, kayaking around secluded coves and inlets.
Hopefully, you’ll get a chance to spot seals, dolphins, whales and
penguins.
Wrap up the day with dinner with the group on the boat, before settling
into you cabin.
(B,D)
Day 14 Milford
Sound to Queenstown
It’s a great start to the day when you wake up to
peaceful Milford Sound. Enjoy a full cooked breakfast and head back
to the mainland before heading on past New Zealand’s deepest and most
beautiful lake: Te Anau.
Then we head back to Queenstown where our tour ends. It’s time to say
goodbye to your new friends and crew.
Please note: Your tour will finish at the Queenstown
airport. (B)
