Highlights

Sip your way around Waiheke Island off the shores of Auckland during an Exclusive Experience. Visit cellar doors to learn about their production methods, sample some seriously excellent wine and enjoy a winery lunch.

Dive into the rituals and stories of ancient Maori warfare and peace during a cultural experience at Te Pa Tu. A local expert will guide you in celebrating the abundant harvest and you’ll hear stories through haka, song and drama before digging into a two-course meal.

Spend the day exploring the volcanic landscapes of Tongariro National Park, then retire to your chateau-style Feature Stay hotel to sit back and soak in views of Tongariro’s dazzling peaks.

Embark on an Exclusive cruise in Doubtful Sound / Patea – Patea means ‘place of silence’ in Maori, and you’ll soon see why. Coast past sheer cliffs and waterfalls and learn about the local wildlife with an onboard naturalist.

Explore Arrowtown – a heritage town that dates back to the gold rush era – and taste some of Central Otago’s best drops at a well-loved winery in Gibbston Valley.
