New Zealand Amplified

When it comes to inspiring scenery, fascinating culture and inviting locals, New Zealand is as good as it gets. Witness the volcanic landscapes of the North Island and the snow-dusted scenery of the South Island on a 19-day adventure through the beaches of the Coromandel Peninsula, bubbling hot pools of Rotorua, endless waters of Lake Taupo and cityscapes of Wellington. Then, cross the Cook Strait and witness the glory of the South Island. Encounter Kaikoura’s abundant wildlife, get your adrenaline fix in Queenstown and be awed by Franz Josef Glacier’s icy beauty.
