8 Day Short Stay in NZ: Both Islands

Short Stay - Highlights of NZ Self Drive Tour

If your wish list is long but time is short, this 8 day itinerary is your perfect fit. Explore the mountains and fiords of Queenstown and Milford Sound, cruise Abel Tasman's balmy bays, and marvel at the volcanic landscapes of Rotorua, our Maori heartland. Head on to Waitomo for a spectacular glow worm light show and finish up in Auckland, our glorious City of Sails.

We fly you between New Zealand's premier destinations, and there's no driving involved until your very last day. You'll spend more time with your eyes off the road, savouring your surroundings and enjoying unforgettable excursions into the heart of Aotearoa instead.

Hi Deb,

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you personally for all of your efforts in helping to create our perfect holiday.

My reason for wanting to go to New Zealand was because my Mum used to always talk about going to New Zealand. Mum passed away last year and never got the chance so this was my way of honoring her dream as well as my own.

Allan and I got to see and do things that we never thought we would and no holiday we take again will ever be as good as our trip to New Zealand. As requested, I have attached some holiday snaps. Lots of snow in November was not something we were expecting but was a fabulous bonus!

Thanks again for all of your efforts.
