Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 22 Day New Zealand Multisport. Travelling to New Zealand? Don't worry, you won't have to choose between the two islands.

Across three weeks you can hike, kayak, and cycle across this diverse land. There's also time for boat cruises and local culture, just to be sure you don't miss out on anything.
