Here’s how the itinerary (all suggested experiences and tours are at an additional cost). Destination Experts at Down Under Answers can assist with suggesting other trip tips or add tour options.

On arrival, enjoy the museums, galleries, zoos, and parks in Auckland. Don’t miss a short hike up Mount Eden for panoramic views of the Auckland region, or catch the ferry to Rangitoto, a volcanic island in the Auckland Harbour. Stay 3 nights.

Next, you’ll fly south to Rotorua to experience Maori culture, geothermal earth forces, or its 16 lakes. The region offers some of the world’s best mountain biking trails, fantastic trout fishing, and forest walking trails. Stay 2 nights.

Continue south by air to the capital city of Wellington. Ride the historic Cable Car to visit the Botanic Garden or hear the birdsong of a tuatara as you walk through Zealandia, the Karori Sanctuary Experience. Stay 2 nights.

Fly from Wellington to Queenstown, an area of extraordinary natural beauty. Explore Milford or Doubtful Sounds, visit the historic township of Arrowtown or relax on an afternoon wine tasting journey. Stay 4 nights.
