Your New Zealand and Fiji itinerary begins in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Staying in the luxurious surrounds of a 6,000 acre estate near Matauri Bay, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the Pacific Ocean and plenty of ways to chase away any lingering jet lag with a spot of mountain biking, horse riding or fishing. You can play leisurely games of golf on the estate’s par 72 championship course or treat yourself to a relaxing massage at its spa.

Today, you’ll fly down to Hawke’s Bay and taste some of the excellent wines grown here. In New Zealand’s oldest wine growing region you are ideally placed to sample some of the finest New World wines. But don’t sink too much of that delicate Merlot just yet because there are plenty of opportunities to admire the scenery on a hike or put your golfing skills to the test on the Cape Kidnappers cliff-top golf course.

It's time for a change of scene and tempo as you fly to Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand. If it raises the pulse you’ll find it here: jet ski safaris, white water rafting, kayaking, off-road tours and zip lining, set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, raging rivers and dramatic fjords. You’ll stay at Matakauri Lodge, one of Queenstown's most elegant secret escapes and the perfect base from which to enjoy the very best the region has to offer.

Tired but exhilarated after your adventure-packed tour of New Zealand, you’ll head to the private island retreat of Laucala for some much-needed rest. Sit back and enjoy the view from one of 25 Fijian-styled villas nestling at the foot of verdant mountains and surrounded by coconut plantations and white sandy beaches. If you’re not quite done with adventure yet there’s plenty to see and do: water sports, rainforest walks, diving, snorkelling, sailing, golf, farm visits, horse riding and underwater trips on the resort’s own deep flight submarine. But you may wish for nothing more than a traditional Fijian therapy in the spa and to feel the fine grains of sand between your toes.
