New Zealand’s epic landscapes shift seamlessly from towering mountains to wild coastlines.
On the North Island, walk with a Māori guide through geothermal parks to take in volcanic craters and dramatic geysers.
Then feel time slow down amid the ochre vineyards of Hawke's Bay, New Zealand’s oldest wine-growing region. The sweet scents of pears and apples fills the air from February to May as the orchards brim with plump fruit. A private tasting at our favourite wine cellars here unveil their flavours.
Adventure beckons on the South Island. Make your way to Abel Tasman, where beaches give way to secret coves and sweeping views of the Tasman Sea. We recommend kayaking around the golden coast’s emerald waters, watching for dolphins and New Zealand fur seals, or enjoying a guided walk along the southern section of the Abel Tasman Coast Track.
