Queenstown aerial view, South Island New Zealand

Queenstown​

Queenstown is well known as one of the adventure capitals of the world, but it's also bursting with relaxing activities. You can enjoy a cruise on the steamship TSS Earnslaw across Lake Wakatipu or a ride on the Skyline gondola to Bob’s Peak for an amazing panoramic view of the city, lake and mountains.

Milford Sound, South Island New Zealand

Fiordland

The staggering landscape of Milford Sound – cliffs tumbling into the sea, towering snow-dusted peaks, countless waterfalls – is the undoubted highlight of the southwest of the South Island, and a cruise there is unmissable. The wildlife (penguins, seals, dolphins, birds) is also memorable. But the region has other stunning sights, including glacier country, Lake Te Anau, and the scenic highways that traverse the mountain passes.

Waitomo Caves with Glow Worms, North Island, New Zealand

Waitomo Caves

New Zealand’s clear night skies are a wonder in themselves, but the ‘stars’ you can see deep in the Waitomo Caves are a celestial display of another kind altogether. Thousands of tiny, luminescent glow worms create a magical sight on the ceiling of the caves, and they are memorably viewed from a guided boat gliding through a grotto.

Interislander Ferry

The journey is a highlight in itself when you cruise between the North and South islands of New Zealand.
