Experiences on this journey
A land of beauty and contrasts, New Zealand is home to incredible adventures and activities that should be on everyone’s bucket list. From glaciers to fly fishing, wine tasting to conservation and everything in between, New Zealand is a country waiting to be explored.
Designed by award winning masters, the golf courses found in New Zealand are world class. Offering you unique landscapes and championship status, these courses are often found on the list of Best Golf Courses in the World.
Discover exclusive boutique wineries, home to many of New Zealand's finest wines. Taste your way through two significant wine regions - Hawkes Bay and Gibbston Valley on two separate tours. Enjoy stunning scenery, decadent food and the best wines that New Zealand has to offer.
If you are looking for adrenaline fueled activities then no look no further. New Zealand has no shortage of exciting adventures. From a Can Am tour at Cape Kidnappers, bungy jumping or ziplining in Queenstown, or the rush of the high speed jet boat on the Shotover River, New Zealand will have your heart pumping.
Only from the air can you view and understand the beauty of Fiordland. The exhilaration of flying close to the sheer rock face of towering mountains, over vast glacial lakes and forested valleys will leave you breathless and in awe. Where else in the world can you indulge in a glass of champagne on top of a glacier?
Experience the rich & diverse blend of history & culture, gaining insight into New Zealand's intricate personality. Your experienced guides will bring the stories of the Maori’s to life as you explore the resting place of one the indigenous Maori’s original seven migratory waka and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where the Maori Chiefs signed their agreement with the British Crown
With the rivers teeming with brown & rainbow trout, you may want to try your hand at fly fishing at one of many secret fishing locations around Hawkes Bay. At Kauri Cliffs you have the opportunity to test your fishing skills at catching a snapper or kahawai (similar to a blue fish). Afterward, bring your catch back to the lodge and one of the Chef’s will prepare it for your dinner.
Set sail in the Bay of islands on board the private 55ft catamaran, Cool Change for a day that you will never forget. No trip to the Bay of Islands would be complete without a day on the water. Take in the majestic scenery, secluded beaches and stunning sea life. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board and then you may choose to immerse yourself in one of the many water sports available to you.
An exclusive experience and one that many New Zealanders themselves will never experience. This is your chance to see the rare kiwi in its own natural habitat. Accompany your guides into the pine forests and assist them as they check the kiwis radio transmitters, weigh & measure the birds and carry out the conservation & monitoring of this endangered species
We invite you to relax and rejuvenate at any of the spa’s on this journey. Enclose yourself in the tranquil setting and allow your senses to be revived.

Courses featured on this New Zealand golf experience
Cape Kidnappers Golf Course
Golfers can look forward to playing the top courses in the country
Golf at Cape Kidnappers
WORLD RANKING #22
Designed by legendary golf architect Tom Doak, the Cape Kidnappers par 71 golf course measures 7,147 yards (6,569 meters) and will challenge golfers of all skill levels. Completed in 2004, our spectacular New Zealand golf course has been hailed as one of the great modern marvels in golf. Built on a ridge-and-valley landscape and with stunning sea views, Cape Kidnappers Golf Course plays high above the ocean atop dramatic cliffs.
Golf at Kauri Cliffs
WORLD RANKING #43
Kauri Cliffs was designed and built by David Harman of Golf Course Consultants, Orlando, Florida. The par 72 championship golf course measures 7,139 yards / 6,528 meters and offers five sets of tees to challenge every skill level. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs that plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest, and farmland. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked #43 in the world by Golf Digest Top 100 Greatest Golf Courses in the World.
Jack's Point
WORLD RANKING #44
John Darby, a New Zealand land planner and golf architect, routed Jack’s Point from a valley clubhouse up onto a plateau and down again to offer sterling views of Lake Wakatipu and the mile-high Remarkables Mountains. Many have likened Jack’s Point opening uphill holes to those of Gullane in Scotland. But Darius Oliver of Golf Digest Australia is less enamored, writing: “Darby decided to attack the hills and get his holes as quickly and as close to the [lake] edge as he possibly could. The result is at times an awkward mix of quite spectacular golf with some difficult uphill and downhill slogs.” Our ranking would suggest Oliver’s is the minority opinion.
