NZ Adventure

Kia ora! Touching down in New Zealand's largest city, we'll meet you at our centrally located hostel to settle in.

This evening you'll meet up with the rest of your travel crew and excited for all the adventures to come in Aotearoa.

First up we're stopping at Waitomo, home of the world-famous glowworm caves. We'll take a guided tour and explore this labyrinth of underground rivers and watch the resident glowworms do their thing.

This afternoon we tick off another highlight as we head to Hobbiton to wander the real-life lush pastures of the Shire as featured in The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. After exploring the set and learning all about movie magic, we'll enjoy a drink at the Green Dragon Inn before departing for Rotorua.

Waking up to the whiff of sulphur, today you'll definitely know you're in Rotorua! We'll visit the naturally heated waters of Kerosene Creek where you'll get to take a dip, as well one of New Zealand's most magnificent geothermal wonderlands – Wai o Tapu, featuring dramatic geysers & bubbling mud.

This morning you'll have some free time to maybe try some zorbing or the skyline luge.

In the evening we'll go to the Mitai Māori village for an introduction to Māori culture. It doesn't get more authentic than this!

Have your cameras ready as we travel to Taupo, a lakefront town in the heart of the North Island.

This afternoon we'll treat you to something special - a sailing trip across the lake. Swoon over spectacular, no-filter-needed scenery and volcanic landscape.

This morning we're off on a scenic walk to check out Huka Falls, a goose-bump inducing torrent of crystal water thundering down the Waikato River that you will hear before you see. After witnessing the raw power of Mother Nature, you'll then have some free time when you can do a skydive or a bungee jump!

Today we'll head to New Zealand's capital city, Wellington! Dive into the city's energy by exploring its charming cafes, indulging in delicious bites at top-notch restaurants or kicking back and soaking up the laid-back vibes of the evening.

Get ready to explore the best of Wellington with a city orientation tour! Hop aboard the iconic cable cars for stunning views, then dive into the rich history and vibrant culture at Te Papa Tongarewa Museum—ranked among the world's best museums.

You've seen the North Island, now its time to explore the South Island! After a short included flight you'll land in Christchurch.

This evening you'll meet up with the rest of your new travel crew and get excited for all the adventures to come!

Discover the vibrant city of Christchurch, where history comes alive at every turn, before we make our way to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tekapo!

Today, we'll hike up the stunning Mount John, where 360-degree panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps await. Afterward, we'll unwind and recharge by soaking our tired muscles in soothing hot pools—pure bliss!

Get ready for an epic scenic drive through the jaw-dropping Southern Alps as we make our way to the charming lakeside town of Wanaka, nestled beneath towering snow-capped peaks. Along the way, we'll take on the legendary Hooker Valley Hike, winding through a stunning valley that leads us to unbeatable views of Aoraki/Mount Cook—the tallest mountain in New Zealand!

Today we check out all Wanaka has to offer, including going kayaking on the beautiful Lake Wanaka and discovering the famous Wanaka Tree.

Later, we'll tackle the Mount Iron hike, where we'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the Pisa Range and the Upper Clutha Basin.

After travelling to buzzing Queenstown, we'll get oriented with the high-octane adventure capital of NZ (and dare we say, the world!).

Jumping on a fjord cruise, we'll experience the spellbinding combination of towering peaks, forested cliffs, resident seals, and plummeting waterfalls up close and personal. Pick your jaw up off the floor, this is mother nature at her finest!

Today we'll get a splash of adrenaline with a jet-boat ride. Feel the thrill as the highly skilled driver keeps things pumping with 360-degree spins and speeds more than 80km/h.

Tonight we'll get the gang together for our farewell dinner and final night out on the town! Time to see what this backpacker hub is all about after dark!
