Bay of Islands (1 Days) A day of adventure and fun. The day is yours to enjoy the overwhelming beauty of the Bay of Islands.

Bay of Islands to Waitomo (1 Days) We head south, stopping in Auckland for lunch before travelling through the lush Waikato farming region to Waitomo, home of magical limestone formations and sparkling Glow-worms. Tonight there's the chance to meet the local characters. Waitomo to Rotorua (1 Days) There will be time today, if you wish, to visit the Glow-worm grotto or try underground cave rafting.

This afternoon you're free to wander the shops, enjoy a parasail high over the lake or challenge gravity on the Rock n' Ropes. Tonight maybe try fishing and later enjoy the famous local nightlife. Taupo to Wellington (1 Days) The mountains of Tongariro National Park provide a spectacular sight on the way to Wellington, New Zealand's capital city. A scenic waterfront drive to the top of Mt Victoria acts as the perfect introduction to this cosmopolitan city famed for its cafes, restaurants and trendy bars.

Wellington to Christchurch (1 Days) Board the Inter-Island ferry and do the north to south island hop through Marlborough Sound and Cook Strait to Picton. Then make sure your camera ready for the spectacular views along the Kaikoura Coastline. If we're lucky, we'll spot one of the many seal colonies in this area. Later enjoy free time in Christchurch.
