Description

This incredible small group guided tour explores every inch of the magnificent North & South Islands. Comprising of more than 8,300 kms (that’s over 5000 miles) of iconic New Zealand landscapes and beauty spots, and travelling to over 100 renowned tourism locations via 19 individually ‘named’ scenic routes and highways, our magnificent 90-day tour may just be the bestest, most epicest darn road trip journey in the world! In-depth and detailed, but with an emphasis on taking our time and relaxing (it is a holiday, after all!), ‘The Epic’ meanders through our most well-known tourism hotspots (and lots of other hidden gems we think are even better), giving each of our ‘ZigZaggers’ ample opportunities to experience all the additional Kiwi culture, activities and attractions that this ‘big’ little country is famous for. Along the way, we’ll visit (and in many cases, spend the night/s very near to) New Zealand’s highest snow-capped mountains, the turquoise waters of our many alpine-fed lakes and rivers, volcanoes, geysers and colourful steaming mud pools, deserted golden beaches and towering sand dunes, emerald bays, harbours, islands and lagoons, misty primeval rainforests and Hobbit holes, picturesque lighthouses and rugged coastlines, cascading waterfalls and underground streams lit by twinkling glow-worms, awe-inspiring fiords, sounds, caves, cliffs, glaciers and gorges, native reserves teeming with exotic tuatara, birdlife, whales, dolphins and seals, the isolated cape that experiences the planet’s first sunrise each day, our world-famous wine-making regions and hiking tracks, our largest and most cosmopolitan cities, our most important sites of early Maori and European history, and the very best coffee shops and carts that we can find. Come experience Queenstown, Hobbiton, Lake Rotorua, Kaikoura, the Bay Of Islands, Arthurs Pass, Tongariro/Ruapehu, Franz Josef Glacier, Taupo, Fiordland, Napier & the Hawkes Bay, the Marlborough Sounds, Cape Reinga, Lake Wanaka, Abel Tasman National Park, The Catlins, The Coromandel Peninsula, Mount Cook, Mount Taranaki, Lake Tekapo, and Punakaiki…. just to name a few. They’re all included, and sooooooo much more. Everything. Chocka-block full of epicness. The very, very, very best of New Zealand. ‘Nuff said.
