beautiful coastal spot is great for swimming, sea kayaking, and spotting

 Hot Water Beach to Waitomo Check out New Zealand’s gold mining history before travelling on to experience

the glow-worms, underwater caves and forest walks of Waitomo.

After an early start our first stop is the Karangahake Scenic Reserve to explore

a native bush-clad gorge, swing bridges and a bit of New Zealand‟s gold mining

history. Next it‟s onto Waitomo (wai meaning water, tomo meaning cave)

where you will get the chance to see glow-worms, stalactites, cave coral,

fossilized oysters and other crazy stuff in the limestone caves formed from 40

million year old dead fish.

Waitomo to Rotorua 

Last chance to explore Waitomo before heading to Rotorua, the Maori culture

capital of New Zealand.

We start the day with a walk through the Ruakuri Reserve and a breakfast stop

at the Long Black Café before heading through to Rotorua. In the afternoon

you‟ll have a chance to go along to a farm show, go Zorbing, luging, and try

out a crazy activity or two at Agroventures. In the evening you can experience

a traditional Maori hangi (feast) and concert with Tamaki Tours – a night not to

be missed!

Rotorua to Taupo 

 A popular backpacker destination, with New Zealand’s biggest lake and plenty 

8/2/2019 NZ rio Funky Chicken

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nz-rio-funky-chicken 4/10

to keep you occupied! 

The first activity of the day is exploring the geothermal reserve of Te Puia, with

New Zealand‟s largest geyser and a chance to see a real live Kiwi bird. The

afternoon journey to Taupo includes stop offs to explore the area‟s lakes and

Taupo‟s famous Huka Falls. Taupo is rightly known as the adventure capital of 

the North Island with optional activities on offer such as skydiving, bungy

 jumping, jet boating, the Volcanic Centre and the spectacular Tongariro

Crossing!

Taupo (extra day) 

We recommend staying an extra night in Taupo because there’s so much to do

there. If you’re short on time, you can always skip this extra day, timetable

allowing, and get to the next stop sooner. 

Enjoy a sleep-in (for those not doing the Tongariro Crossing) and experience

one of the many activities on offer. A walk down to Spa Park to relax in the

natural hot springs by the river is a great way to spend the day (or

night). Alternatively if you have time head off on our 'East As': 4 day, 3 nightunique add-on trip around the East Cape, which takes you to places few

tourists get to see.

Taupo to River Valley 

Visit Tongariro National Park, take and enjoy some stunning free walks before

arriving at River Valley Adventure Lodge

We head south around the “great lake” towards the Tongariro National Park for

a picnic lunch and a two hour walk through native bush and waterfalls. In the

afternoon we travel through to the ultimate adventure lodge - River Valley,

8/2/2019 NZ rio Funky Chicken

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nz-rio-funky-chicken 5/10

situated amongst towering cliffs and bush-clad hills. The lodge offers grade five

rafting on the Rangitikei River, scenic horse riding, and a small golf course.

Spend the evening enjoying the delicious roast dinner and relaxing by the open

fire.

River Valley to Wellington 

New Zealand’s capital city is full of culture, cafes and cable cars! 

We head away late after a morning white water rafting or horse riding, and

head throughthe rolling hills full of deer, cattle and sheep. We arrive in

Wellington late in the afternoon. This city is the undisputed capital of culture,

the arts, restaurants, fashion and nightlife. It‟s home to the largest cultural

attraction in New Zealand, Te Papa Museum, which is well worth a look (and

it‟s free). 

Wellington to Picton to Kaiteriteri 

Travel across the stunning Cook Strait to the seaside town of Picton, then on to

Kaiteriteri where the beautiful golden sand beach is practically on your 

doorstep. 

You can choose to take the Interislander ferry across to the South Island,

through the magnificent Marlborough Sounds; or arrange a flight. Travel via

the Pelorous Bridge to Nelson, New Zealand‟s sunniest city, then on to

Kaiteriteri at the edge of the Abel Tasman National Park. You can simply wile

away the evening on the golden sand beach just metres from your

accommodation. Kaiteriteri is a great spot to begin an adventure (on foot, by

kayak or by water taxi) into Abel Tasman National Park.

Kaiteriteri to Westport 

Snow-capped mountains and adventure activities on the Buller River  

Spend the morning kayaking out to Split Apple Rock and along the golden bays

nearby Kaiteriteri, looking out for the local marine wildlife; or catch a water

taxi to a one of the bays in the Abel Tasman National Park to go for a morning

stroll in the native New Zealand forest. A late departure from Kaiteriteri will

take us to Westport, so you can meet the team from Buller Adventure Tours

where you can experience the best value for money jet boating, horse trekking

and quad biking in New Zealand.

Westport to Lake Mahinapua 

Continue down the West Coast via the world famous ‘Highway 6’ and be

treated to some amazing sights.

Today we cruise down the spectacular Highway 6 that stretches along the

rugged Tasman shoreline. The road winds along diverse landscapes, which

never cease to amaze both locals and visitors alike. Highlights include the Cape

Foulwind seal colony, rugged beach walks and the Punakaiki Pancake

Rocks. Tonight your Driver Guide will arrange a group meal for you at the

Mahinapua Hotel, known as the legendary “Poo Pub”.  It‟s an awesome evening

of fancy dress and a good way to get to know your fellow travellers.

Lake Mahinapua to Franz Josef  

Incredible views of glaciers towering over subtropical rainforests. 

Our first stop this morning is the Bushman‟s Centre, where you will get an

insight into how people make a living on the coast with helicopter deer

recovery, old timber-milling techniques and possum trapping. We then head

through to the Franz Josef Glacier Village, nestled in the Westland National

Park.

Franz Josef (Extra Day) 

We recommend staying an extra night in Franz Josef because there’s so much

to do there. If you’re short on time, you can always skip this extra day,

timetable allowing, and get to the next stop sooner. 

Today is your chance to hike on the Franz Josef Glacier, rated as one of the top

three activities to do in New Zealand, by Kiwi Experience passengers. You

could also take the option of a heli-hike, and be flown up the glacier, or take a

more sedate approach and explore the various walks in the area.

Franz Josef to Wanaka 

Take the time to chill out by Lake Wanaka.

We start out early in order to catch the perfect mirror reflection of Mt Cook and

the Southern Alps on Lake Matheson. We then cruise down the last stretch of 

Highway 6, stopping at popular scenic spots along the way. Then it‟s into

Mount Aspiring National Park, arriving in the awe-inspiring destination of 

Wanaka in the afternoon.

Wanaka to Queenstown 

 Adventure capital of New Zealand…and the world! 

It‟s only a short drive today through to New Zealand's adventure capital,

Queenstown. Highlights include Puzzling World, skydiving over Lake Wanaka

and stopping at the world‟s first commercial bungy site - the Kawarau Bridge.

On arrival in Queenstown you can book all activities and confirm onward bus

travel at Base, as well as get a group photo with all your new West Coast

mates. Then it‟s out on the town exploring Queenstown‟s infamous nightlife

with all the crew!

Queenstown (Extra Day) 

We recommend staying an extra night in Queenstown because there’s so much

to do there. If you’re short on time, you can always skip this extra day,

timetable allowing, and get to the next stop sooner.

Queenstown is rated as one of our passenger‟s favourite spots to hang out in

New Zealand. Take the time to spend a few days here as it is one of the most

picturesque places in the world. Make the most of the beautiful lake and

surrounding walks, or get into a whole range of adrenalin pumping activities. If 

there was one activity that you couldn‟t miss it would be the day trip to Milford

Sound, commonly referred to as New Zealand‟s most beautiful spot!

Queenstown to Christchurch 

Head to the ‘garden city’, with optional drop off points for Mt Cook and rafting

ready because this is „Lord of the Rings‟ territory. After dropping people in

Twizel for the connection to Mt Cook, we travel through to the amazing aqua

blue Lake Pukaki, with a stunning view of Mt Cook. We stop for lunch beside

Lake Tekapo and the picturesque Church of the Good Shepherd. From there we

have a straight run into Christchurch arriving late afternoon.

Christchurch to Kaikoura 

Kaikoura is known as one of the best coastal wildlife regions in the world -

whales, dolphins and seals! 

Kaikoura is known as one of the best coastal wildlife regions in the world -

whales, dolphins and seals! Departing Christchurch in the afternoon, we arrive

at Kaikoura in time for you to sample some of the best seafood New Zealand

has to offer for your dinner. In fact, the name Kaikoura means to eat Crayfish(“kai” meaning to eat, “koura” meaning crayfish). Stay an extra night if you

want to check out what Kaikoura is most famous for – its whale watching, or

swimming with the dolphins or the seals.

Kaikoura to Wellington (via Picton) 

Check out seal colonies and drive along the amazing Kaikoura coastline

We head north and take in the last of the dramatic Kaikoura coastline. It‟s a

spectacular drive – voted New Zealand‟s best – and we stop for a close look at

the seals that lay about on the rocks all day long. We make our way to the

8/2/2019 NZ rio Funky Chicken

Say farewell to the South Island (Te Wai Pounamu) and we‟re on our way! The

ferry ride takes a few hours so chill out and enjoy the view of the amazing

Marlborough Sounds!

Wellington to Taupo 

The Rangitikei region has beautiful rivers and lakes as well as Lord of the Rings

landscapes! 

We‟ve got quite a distance to cover today, so we leave early from Wellington to

beat the rush hour traffic. We pass through Taihape, where we drop off and

pick up people for River Valley Adventure lodge. Departing Taihape we head to

the Central Plateau, home of the Tongariro National Park, where we can drop

you off in the township of Turangi if you wish to access it. Then it‟s through to

Taupo and if the weather suits, it‟s time to skydive! 

Taupo to Auckland (via Rotorua) 

Hop-off in Rotorua, or head onwards to the ‘City of Sails’. 

This morning we head north to Rotorua, renowned for its Maori heritage and

thermal activity in the area. After dropping off passengers in Rotorua, who are

spending a night or two here, we make our way to Matamata (aka

Hobbiton). You can jump off here if you‟re a Lord of the Rings nut.   Then it‟s

onwards through the rolling countryside to Auckland, otherwise known as the

 „City of Sails‟. We call into the Kiwi Experience office for a chance to purchase

merchandise, confirm future bookings or extend your trip even further!
