9 Days New Zealand Travel
8N / 9DIn the North Island, explore the cosmopolitan city of Auckland, the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, and the cultural heartland of the Maori people. Rolling green hills lead to volcanic peaks, and crystal-clear beaches fringe the coastline. The capital, Wellington, is a charming harbour city known for its creative vibe, food scene, and film culture.
The South Island is a paradise for nature lovers and thrill-seekers. Towering Southern Alps, sparkling glaciers, and serene fiords dominate the landscape. Adventure capital Queenstown offers bungee jumping, skydiving, and skiing, while nearby Milford Sound stuns with waterfalls and wildlife. In Christchurch, witness a city reborn from earthquakes, blending English heritage with modern innovation.
Whether you're hiking through ancient forests, kayaking with dolphins, sipping wine in Marlborough, or exploring filming locations from The Lord of the Rings, New Zealand is a destination that feels both mythical and magnetic.
