The itineraries featured below will give you a broad idea of what New Zealand has to offer. All of our travel arrangements are on a private, individual basis to offer complete freedom of choice. The itineraries below are designed to give you a flavour of what is possible and can be tailor-made to suit your preferences.
South Island Explorer
The South Island scenery takes on a wonderful golden glow during the autumn months, and this itinerary takes you to some of the most iconic spots as well as a few lesser-known gems. With a dusting of snow on the alpine peaks and lakes fringed with reds and ambers, landscapes which are beautiful at any time of the year are enhanced further by the changing seasons.
Great New Zealand Wine Trail
Always a joy to visit, New Zealand's renowned wineries enjoy long hours of sunshine throughout the autumn, and as the leaves turn the rows of vines become an array of vibrant colours. This short itinerary leads you through some of New Zealand's finest wine growing areas, beautiful places to enjoy a glass or two as the sun sets over the vineyards.
New Zealand Gems
Many of New Zealand's highlights can be enjoyed year-round, but as the summer crowds disperse, a gentler atmosphere returns to the popular tourist spots. This itinerary incorporates some of the country's most visited areas, but by electing to travel in autumn you can enjoy the scenery as it should be - peaceful and untouched.
