This two-week luxury holiday offers the perfect blend of exploration and indulgence, taking you from the country’s iconic highlights to hidden gems. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for a deeper dive, this journey is curated to showcase the best of New Zealand. And just when you think it couldn’t get better, you’ll jet off to the tropical paradise of Fiji. With pristine beaches, lush forests, and some of the friendliest locals you’ll ever meet, Fiji offers the ultimate escape, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated after your New Zealand adventure.
Your journey begins in Auckland, where you’ll take to the skies for a helicopter ride to the renowned Huka Lodge. Nestled in private parkland along the emerald-green Waikato River, this luxurious retreat has been welcoming guests since the 1920s. It’s the perfect spot to reconnect with nature while indulging in first-class hospitality.
From Huka Lodge, venture to nearby Taupo, known for its geothermal wonders, including hot springs and steaming geysers. Activities range from kayaking to ancient Maori rock carvings to an unforgettable volcanic helicopter safari. Fly along the fault line and step onto White Island’s crater floor for a truly otherworldly experience. New Zealand’s adventurous spirit is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Next, head to Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand’s premier wine region. Your stay at the luxurious Rosewood Cape Kidnappers, set on a sprawling 6,000-acre farm overlooking the South Pacific, will offer the perfect mix of relaxation and activity. From gourmet dining featuring dishes like beef with truffled mash to exploring walking trails, a world-class golf course, and day spas, this destination is a haven of indulgence.
No visit to Hawke’s Bay would be complete without sampling its renowned wines. Explore the region’s oldest vineyards, with over 40 cellar doors offering tastings, and meet local artisans while discovering the area’s stunning landscapes. For a cultural highlight, enjoy a traditional Powhiri (Maori welcome) for an unforgettable insight into the region’s heritage.
Your New Zealand journey wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Queenstown, known as the adventure capital of the world. Nestled along the shores of Lake Wakatipu with the dramatic Remarkables mountain range as a backdrop, Queenstown offers endless thrills and luxurious relaxation.
Stay at Blanket Bay Lodge, an alpine-style retreat on the lake’s edge, and dive into adventure. Whether it’s jet boating, fly fishing, hiking, or sipping champagne atop a glacier, Queenstown caters to every whim. The town’s vibrant energy and stunning scenery are the perfect finale to your New Zealand exploration.
After the excitement of New Zealand, unwind with a visit to Fiji. From Queenstown, you’ll fly to Auckland before continuing to Nadi on Fiji’s main island. From there, a scenic 45-minute seaplane ride will take you to Kokomo Private Island, a secluded paradise where luxury meets tranquility.
Spend four nights basking in the beauty of the South Pacific, lounging on pristine beaches, or diving into crystal-clear waters to explore some of the world’s best snorkeling and diving spots. Kokomo’s blend of upscale luxury and laid-back Polynesian charm makes it the ideal destination to recharge before heading home, ending your journey on a truly unforgettable note.
