Auckland to Queenstown 11 Day Classic Highlights

Starting in Auckland head to the Maori cultural heart of Rotorua. Then onto Wellington, the coolest little capital city in the world where you catch the ferry across the Cook Straight to the South Island. After a night in the wine growing region of Marlborough drive the spectacular Pacific Coast to Kaikoura to view the resident whale population before continuing to the Garden City, Christchurch. Then towards the Southern Alps and Mt. Cook National Park where you get close to icebergs on the Tasman Glacier Lake. The alpine resort of Queenstown is your final destination where you’ll get to spend two nights. A highlight of your trip is a scenic flight to Milford Sound where you cruise the fiord before returning to Mt Aspiring National Park for a fun filled jet boat adventure with Dart River Safaris.
