The tour of the North and south island was great with superb scenery all the way, we also had a great coach driver for whole tour which is meant to be unusual Norm was fantastic he was part of our tour and his knowledge was first class, if pushed I would say the South island was better, and I made some great friends on this tour
The whole trip was easy to book and very well organised. The holiday rep was friendly and full of useful local information and the local travel guide/ coach driver was amazing. The hotels were comfortable, clean and well situated. The excursions were excellent. I would highly recommend the new Zealand escorted your and travelsphere.
The holiday was packed with exactly the activities we wanted. Everything was planned and organised by an outstanding guide, so all we had to do was turn up and be taken to the next activity!
As New Zealand is not much bigger than the UK, but quite a long haul journey, you would be best to cover the whole country in one fell swoop. The Discover New Zealand tour goes from Auckland to Pahia, Rotorua, to Wellington, Dunedin to Christchurch and much more along the way. A full top to bottom tour, covering an abundance of highlights including the Glow worm caves, Milford South, Lake Taupo, Paihia and an optional tour to Hobbiton.
New Zealand offers such a range of different scenery from the green vineyards and rain forests, to the white glaciers and bubbling geothermic pools. There is a lot crammed in to an island not much bigger than the UK, but with just under 5 million residents there is lots of room to sightsee without being overcrowded. The cities and towns are a sightseers dream too, packed full of nice cafes, museums and bars for a nice evening drink. The locals are welcoming and you won’t find any poisonous reptiles or spiders here!
The main highlights of New Zealand that you won’t want to miss are:
Being an island, seafood is plentiful and traditional fish and chips are a Friday favourite for the Kiwi’s. Another Kiwi favourite is Hokey Pokey Ice cream. A vanilla ice with honey comb pieces, this can be purchased from most cafes and shops over New Zealand.
Cheeses and bread are also popular staples and the Kiwis have created their own Brie and Camembert and also a sourdough bread using a potato starter instead of a yeast starter. A recipe worth taking home with you.
Something not to be missed is the Maori Traditional cooking method of hangi – where Chicken, lamb and fish are cooked by digging a hole in the earth, adding hot stones, wrapping the meat in flax leaves, and then covering the hole back up with the dug out mud. The process takes 3-4 hours but is a completely free way to cook your dinner!
With two islands to explore, New Zealand plays host to magnificent landscapes, and wonderful wildlife. We share just five reason why you should venture to the other side of the world...
