Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Auckland – Spa Relaxation
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city and possesses its largest airport. It is a convenient place to fly in and out of New Zealand and marks the northernmost point of your 12-day experience. A local guide will greet you at the airport for a short transfer to the harborfront and your waterside hotel. Nothing will be planned for today as you ease into New Zealand and rest after your flight. Your hotel hosts a superb on-site spa, and you can soon be beneath a spell of bliss. All you have to do is step out of your hotel and you will find a series of bars and restaurants along the promenade, as well as insatiable views toward wading yachts and distant islands.
