Overview

Mt. Cook Grandeur

Often referred to as the Jewel of the Pacific, New Zealand is a land of rich diversity and magnificent scenery! Our itinerary explores some of the very best of New Zealand's stunningly beautiful South Island: dense rainforests, glaciated mountains, crystal clear lakes, sandy beaches and emerald oceans! This all-women's adventure begins and ends in "The Garden City" of Christchurch and includes biking along the famous Queen Charlotte Track, bush walking in sub-tropical rainforests and dramatic coastal bluffs, a 3-day sea kayaking expedition through stunningly beautiful Abel Tasman National Park, an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound, whale watching and birding excursions. Our accommodations range from all-women lodges to beach camping, alpine lodges and charming B&Bs. With free time in the adventure capitol of Queenstown and the laid back southernmost point of Stewart Island, our itinerary is full yet the pace is flexible enough to allow for plenty of time to relax and absorb the beauty of this friendly country. Don't miss this opportunity for an unforgettable Kiwi adventure!

North Island Extension

Combine this magnificent South Island Adventure with 5 days in the tropical Bay of Islands. Here we have the opportunity to be introduced to the rich culture and history of the indigenous people of New Zealand - the Maori. New Zealand's cultural and natural history come together in a warm water paradise on the North Island: Activities include swimming with dolphins, kayaking crystal clear waters, hiking among strange geological rock formations and participating in a Maori tradition - paddling a Waka (Dugout Canoe)!
