luxury holidays in New Zealand

Holidays to New Zealand are as far away from the UK as it is possible to go, the true Antipode, set like a remote emerald jewel in the blue waters of the southwest Pacific. The Maori culture is evident wherever you travel in this beautiful country and it is an unspoilt landscape of snow-capped mountains and sheer-falling fjords, rolling meadows and open farmland.

Luxury holidays in New Zealand with Abercrombie & Kent can take in all the huge diversity of landscape and people that define this spectacular country.

We recommend New Zealand holidays begin on the North Island, best known for the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, but also offers insights into the rich and rewarding Maori culture and the clear waters of the Bay of Islands. Auckland's harbour is not to be missed and is usually the gateway to a New Zealand travel. Explore the Art Deco town of Napier close to the wine region of Hawkes Bay. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and is the link between the north and the south islands.

Luxury holidays in New Zealand can be continued by crossing over to South Island, home to Christchurch where you can punt along the Avon river or try swimming with the dolphins at Akaroa. Some of the world's most restful retreats have a home on the South Island but if that's not for you, there's excitement in Queenstown, the adrenalin capital of the world. New Zealand holidays are also a chance to quietly explore farmlands and national parks where nature rules and glaciers glide gently and quietly to the sea.

Pricing
