Detailed Description

Linger on palm-fringed beaches and listen to the harmonious songs of traditional Maori tribes. Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee while taking in the view of the Southern Alps before diving into the warm waters of the South Pacific. On this 15-day New Zealand and Fiji adventure tour through the Southern Hemisphere, you will travel across New Zealand and explore Fiji’s largest island of Viti Levu. Whether during the heart of winter or relaxing in the splendor of summer you will find the wonders of the islands bursting with energy, friendly faces, unparalleled activity, and a never-ending supply of natural beauty.

Your adventure on one of Zicasso's New Zealand tours begins when you arrive in Auckland, New Zealand, known as the City of Sails. Green hills rise and fall, and the islands speckle the ocean near the harbor. You have two full days to explore the city as you please: discover the elegance of the coastline on a harbor cruise or make your way up to the Bay of Islands to see the pristine turquoise waters of the country’s northeast. You could even venture down to the country’s cultural capital of Rotorua to witness the spectacular luminescence of the Waitomo Caves and the famous glowworms.

Your brief flight to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, brings you to a seaside city surrounded by lush mountains. Take a guided tour of the cityscape to experience the small town charm and historic essence emanating from the Museum of Wellington City and Sea. The following day you can take an in-depth look into the country’s proud moviemaking traditions with a visit to Weta Workshop, home to the amazing costumes and art made famous by the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Your private transfer takes you to the airport for your flight to Queenstown, where you leave behind the North Island and land on the celebrated South Island. Queenstown is known as the Adventure Capital of the world, but the alpine village-like city contains layers of elegance and natural grandeur beyond adventurous sports. With three full days to explore the city and its surroundings you can indulge in a gondola ride up to the summit of Bob’s Peak.

Take a full day tour down to Doubtful Sound to experience the serene landscape shaped by melting glaciers. Travel up the Dart River on a speedboat excursion to take in the breathtaking marvel of Mount Aspiring National Park. You board a scenic train ride to Dunedin and pass through the lush and rugged landscape of Central Otago before arriving in the quiet university town. With a full day to enjoy the comforts of the quaint region, you can revel in the flavors of a wine tour in an area known for its Pinot Noir.

From Dunedin, you board a flight and leave behind New Zealand’s brilliance arriving on the beach-lined island of Viti Levu, Fiji. Your private transfer takes you to a luxurious resort located in Denarau Island at the start of your Fiji vacation. You have two full days to indulge in the tropical paradise as you please, soaking in the warm waters, relaxing on the golden sand shore, or exploring through its historic caves and exotic blossoming gardens. On your final day, your private transfer takes you to the Nadi International Airport for your flight home.
