New Zealand is a country where reality surpasses imagination. This green and pleasant land reveals its extensive charms as we make our leisurely way around the two islands, with such lively diversions as steamship and marine-life cruises, exploration of protected forests rich in colourful birdlife, mountain ranges, glow-worm caves, geysers and thermal pools.
Our journey includes stays in some of the world's most dazzling harbour cities. On the way we sample local customs and hospitality, from the Scots community to the sheep farmers, the native Maori culture, and the country's justly famous wines.
With top quality hotels and first class coaches to give you that pampered feeling and flights with award-winning Air New Zealand, the holiday concludes with a stay in the secluded and charming Bay of Islands, known as the cradle of New Zealand.

My wife and I are planning to spend 2 weeks driving around New Zealand, 1 week on the South Island, and 1 week on the North Island, although that is not set in stone if we choose to spend more time on one island than the other. We would appreciat any and all input.
All of the above are great. Also, you should stop at the hot water rivers - one is 20km south of Rotorua enroute to Taupo, another off spa rd in in Taupo just past the bungy. Sitting under a small waterfall at 38deg celcius, quite a mindtrip!
Milford sound, if you have the time, not to be missed irregardless of the weather - spectacular in the rain or the sun. During the rain 1000s of waterfalls spring to life of the surrounding peaks, stunning. U dont have a lot of time, hope its not all driving! Enjoy your trip
