Trip overview

This is your chance to indulge in a unique New Zealand holiday that’s good for the soul and the skin!

Fly to Auckland and pick up your hire car at the airport, then head to Rotorua for an amazing North Island getaway. Famous for its natural beauty, in Rotorua there are opportunities to wander around the picturesque lake, try one of the many adventure activities, experience Maori cultural performances and much more.

A highlight of this trip is Hell’s Gate, where you’ll find native bush and geothermal landscapes. Discover why this land has inspired myths and legends as you walk through the clouds of geothermal steam. Once used by Maori warriors to heal their battle-scarred bodies, today visitors use the nutrient-rich waters and mud to ease inflammation and arthritis, as well as rejuvenate the skin!

More about New Zealand

For a country that’s only 18% bigger than the state of Victoria and has a population less than the city of Melbourne, it packs a whole lot of amazing experiences into a small space. Plus, an exchange rate in favour of the Australian dollar is nice bonus. Split into two main islands, the North Island is where you'll find the capital of Wellington and the country's largest city of Auckland. It also has proud Maori heritage and rich cultural experiences. On the South Island, also officially named Te Waipounamu, the natural wonders shine brightly. Explore stunning Abel Tasman National Park, the great Southern Alps and beautiful Milford Sound.
