You come alive in a stunning new world when you visit New Zealand and see the magnificence of the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. Wind through Waikato’s lush farmlands to Matama and continue to Rotorua, an active geothermal city, where you’ll take a gondola ride over the breathtaking Lake Rotorua. Gushing geysers, bubbling mudpools, simmering crystal hot springs and strikingly steep cliffs dot the landscape of dramatic scenery. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, enjoy a scenic light aircraft flight over when returning to Queenstown (weather permitting). You’ll return home with memories and yarns that transcend time.
