DAY 1: Auckland -Waitomo - Rotorua
The Bombay Hills signal the end of sprawling Auckland city as the lush Waikato pasture

Rotorua. We recommend you attend a delicious Maori hangi (feast) and concert tonight

The half day grand sightseeing tour is included - see roaring geysers, boiling mud and
steaming pools at the thermal area, tame trout and Kiwi at the springs and performing
sheep and dogs at the Agrodome. This afternoon is free - there are many activities to
attract you - such as bathing in the thermal waters. For a small additional cost you could
stay on a farm tonight. Overnight in Rotorua
DAY 3: Rotorua - Wellington
Drive south through exotic pine forests, past Wairakei's clouds of steam, to Lake
Taupo. The majestic snow covered peaks of Tongariro, Ngaruahoe and Ruapehu mountains
line your journey over the Desert Road plateau. After Waiouru, drop down through the steep
valleys of the Rangitikei river then the fertile Manawatu plains. Coastal villages,
farms and rocky seascapes bring you to Wellington at 4.1O pm. Wellington is a
lively city with great shopping, restaurants, cafes and night life, especially its
theatres. Overnight in Wellington.
DAY 4: Wellington - Picton - Christchurch
Catch one of the famous ferries across Cook Strait then down the long, narrow and tranquil
Marlborough Sounds to Picton in the South Island. Enjoy the sun decks, bars, cafes and
lounges as you look out for dolphins and whales. The TranzCoastal train takes you on an
exhilarating ride down the narrow coast, with pounding surf on one side and the sheer
Kaikoura ranges on the other. A brief mountain traverse brings you to the broad Canterbury
Plains and then the 'Garden City' - Christchurch at 7.00 pm.
