​3 Nights in Auckland
Auckland, a city where one out of every six residents owns a boat, is nicknamed the City of Sails. Sprawling across two large harbours, it is the largest city in New Zealand. As the main gateway to New Zealand, Auckland has a multi cultural population of more than a million people and is surrounded by  expansive parklands and water. Cultured and cosmopolitan, progressive and historic, Polynesian and European, accessible to beaches and forests,  adventure sports and leisure activities, Auckland offers something for everyone.

Waiheke Island Vineyard Tour
Taste the best of Waiheke food and wine on this delicious tour. Upon arrival at the island, you will be greeted by your tour driver and taken first to Stonyridge Vineyard for a tour and tastings, plus a sumptuous light lunch. You will then depart for the award winning Rangihoua Estate for some
olive tasting, followed by a stop at Wild on Waiheke, which offers optional beer tasting as well as wine. You'll also get to sample locally produced food; olive oils and preserves. The tour concludes with tastings at the beautiful Mudbrick Vineyard whilst enjoying stunning views over the Hauraki Gulf. You can then choose to use your complimentary All Day Bus Pass to further explore the island, or else take the ferry directly back to Auckland.

3 Nights Rotorua
Rotorua is one of New Zealand's most popular visitor destinations and is known as the "District Full of Surprises". Rotorua, the district of lakes and
natural beauty, promises to offer the best of New Zealand all in one place. It is the heartland of New Zealand's tourism and forest industries, supporting a
strong agricultural base. The city is known for its geothermal activity, and features geysers - notably the Pohutu Geyser at Whakarewarewa - and hot mud pools. Rotorua is the jumping off point for adventure and for genuine travel experiences.

Waitomo Glowworm Caves
Your guided tour will take you through over 250 meters of stunning underground scenery commencing with the impressive Cathedral. Your tour begins at the upper entrance of the cave and proceeds along a low narrow passage to the Tomo, a deep limestone shaft. Your experienced tour guide will deliver a highly informative commentary about the formations and the history of the area. The highlight of your tour is an unrivaled boat trip through the spectacular Glowworm Grotto on which you will marvel at Mother Nature's light display as you glide silently through the starry wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto. Meander underground along the Waitomo River and gaze in silence at the myriad of glow worm lights that make up the Glowworm
Grotto. As you enter this galaxy of tiny living lights, you'll immediately experience a serene ambiance and be fascinated and intrigued by tiny glowworms that light your way.
