About This Tour

An 18-day trip combining a 13-night New Zealand road trip — geothermal Rotorua, wine-country cycling, Mount Cook's glaciers, and Milford Sound — with a 4-night island escape on Fiji's Castaway Island. This trip spends the large majority of its nights in New Zealand: 13 of the 17, across Auckland, Taupo, Napier, Geraldine, the Rangitata Valley, Tekapo, Mount Cook, Cromwell, and Queenstown/Milford Sound (days 1–13), before flying on to Fiji for a 4-night island escape on Castaway Island (days 14–17). Voyzo runs the New Zealand portion as a fully private tour — your own vehicle and driver throughout.
