Collette’s ‘Explorations Tours’ offer guests unique cultural experiences and modes of travel, and its ‘Exploring New Zealand’s Wonders’ tour captures the best of the country. 

 

 

‘Exploring New Zealands’ Wonders’ is a small-group, 19-day tour that takes travelers across both of New Zealand’s islands, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local cultures. You’ll even have the chance to pay a visit to Walter Peak High Country farm for a sheepdog demonstration.

 

Travelers will have the chance to take in plenty of natural wonders as well. You’ll take in both the Cook Strait and Milford Sound on the water. You’ll cruise through the Bay of Island’s famous “Hole in the Rock,” spend a night in the Mt. Cook region – home to permanent ice fields and glaciers, and traverse the dramatic geothermal landscape of Rotorua, known as the Maori capital of New Zealand.
