Itinerary
3 Nights – Auckland (with Bay of Islands day trip)
2 Nights – Rotorua
2 Nights – Wellington
2 Nights – Blenheim (Marlborough)
2 Nights – Christchurch
3 Nights – Queenstown (with Milford Sound day trip)
✈ UK – Auckland (3 Nights): First you will fly from your chosen UK Airport to Auckland where you’ll have 3 nights, giving you time to explore the shops, museums and harbours. From here you can take a day trip to the idyllic Bay of Islands where you can take a dolphin cruise or simply enjoy the stunning beach destination and all its water activities.
🚗 Auckland – Rotoura (2 Nights): From Auckland you will travel to the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua for 2 nights. Home to bubbling hot pools, natural hot springs and exploding geysers, you will also be able to experience the rich heritage of the Te Arawa people with a visit to their Maori village.
✈ Rotoura – Wellington (2 Nights): Then fly onto Wellington for 2 nights where you can enjoy the scenic harbour setting, thriving arts scene and gourmet cuisine. The Te Papa National Museum and Botanic Gardens are highlights to visit whilst you are in the country’s capital.
⛴ Wellington – Blenheim (2 Nights): You will then spend 2 nights in Blenheim, renowned for its wineries as it lies in the heart of the Marlborough region. With over 20 wineries within easy reach a wine tour is a must – cycle tours combined with cellar door tastings are also a fun option.
✈ Blenheim – Christchurch (2 Nights): Then fly onto Christchurch for 2 nights where you can relax in the charming ‘Garden City’. Take a trip to Kaikoura on the coast for a thrilling day spotting seals, penguins, dolphins and whales!
✈ Christchurch – Queenstown (3 Nights): Your final internal flight will take you to Queenstown for 3 nights. This alpine city is the adventure capital of NZ set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. If the exhilaration of adventure sports is not your thing then the spectacular scenery alone will enthral you. From here take a day trip to the stunning fiords of Milford Sound home to seals, penguins and dolphins and where waterfalls tumble into the waters from dense forests high above. It is truly stunning.
✈ Queenstown – UK: On your final day we’ll return you to the airport, for your flight home to the UK.

Just booked our 3rd holiday with e-shores, yet again a full professional service and insight to the destinations we wanted to visit- no pressurised selling, and if we kept wanting our itinerary changed - Nick Chadwick didn’t mind at all. Easy to deal nothing to much trouble, also arrange everything to the last detail, no way would we contemplate a holiday to Chile, Argentina and Dominion Republic without eShores - thank u

We have recently been on an amazing 3 week holiday to Kuala Lumpur, Borneo and Singapore arranged by Hannah at eshores. Everything went smoothly and we had the perfect holiday. We loved our multi centre trip so much we have booked with Hannah to go to South America. Again the service and support is great and so easy to make tweaks to our itinerary. Looking forward to what I'm sure will be another great holiday. I would definitely recommend eshores.

We just booked our first trip with Nick from eshores and will be heading to Vietnam next April. Nick was very patient and professional. He listened to what we wanted and made changes to package where requested. Nick was very knowledgeable and made the process very easy.

During the booking process, Dave has been brilliant, always very quick to respond and answered all of my very many questions. Our travel is not till next year but, if our tour goes as well as our experience to date, it will be fantastic.
