New Zealand Vacation with Airfare

Two islands make up New Zealand—the North Island and the South Island—and this 8-day trip gives you ample time on both.

Ride to the top for panoramic views of the city’s picturesque harbors and beaches. After 3 nights, you’ll catch a flight to the “Adventure Capital of the World,” Queenstown, for 4 nights of South Island thrills. This vacation includes:

• Round-trip airfare from Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), Portland (PDX), San Diego (SAN), Seattle (SEA), or Sacramento (SMF)
• Round-trip airfare from Auckland to Queenstown
• 3 nights of standard accommodations at Auckland City Hotel in Auckland

Auckland

The largest city in New Zealand, Auckland is at once a vibrant metropolis and a nature lover’s paradise. In addition to museums and art galleries reflecting indigenous Māori culture, the city features a backdrop of extinct volcanoes that entice hikers and postcard photographers alike.

• Explore Tolkien-worthy landscapes in the Hunua Ranges, where you can trek dense forests and dive into waterfall-fed swimming holes. If that’s not authentic enough, there are plenty of tours centered around The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings that embark from Auckland.
• Shop in style: The historic neighborhood of Parnell, located less than 2 miles (3 km) from the city center, is lined with Victorian homes that have been converted into fashionable boutiques.
• Eat fresh clams and oysters and sip wine on tap at the award-winning Depot Eatery & Oyster Bar, a five-minute walk from your hotel.

Queenstown

Flanked by a mountains and the crystal-blue waters of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown has no shortage of photo ops. But you don’t have to admire it from behind a camera lens: the city is famous for adrenaline-revving activities that put you right in the middle of the scenery. With opportunities for jet boating, bungee jumping, and heli-skiing (downhill skiing that swaps a traditional lift for a helicopter), Queenstown earns its reputation as the “Adventure Capital of the World.”

• Lakefront setting: Your hotel overlooks Lake Wakatipu, the third largest lake in New Zealand. You can take a scenic cruise on a vintage paddlesteamer or go fishing for trout year-round.
• Hike a glacier: At Franz Josef Glacier, you can set off on numerous guided and self-guided trails leading to breathtaking vistas.
• Must-see attraction: Milford Sound, a peaceful fjord that flows into the Tasman Sea. It’s the only fjord in the country that’s accessible by road.
