NEW ZEALAND MAGIC
NEW ZEALAND MAGIC DEPARTURE FEBRUARY 25, 2017, RETURN MARCH 11, 2017 (a later return can be purchased through Air New Zealand for an extra flight deviation fee)
Join us on an unforgettable journey to premier hiking destinations in New Zealand’s North and South Islands. You’ll experience stunning, varied landscapes – lush rain forests, gushing geysers, limestone cliffs, and icy glaciers on the snow-capped Southern Alps. Hiking director Judy Shane, who lived in New Zealand for 9 years, selected her favorite day hikes for this unique adventure. We’ll start in Taupo and end in Queenstown. Independent Tours owners Kent Porter and Cyndi Smith-Porter will join Judy as guides. You will have an opportunity to participate in short hikes (2-4 miles) and longer hikes (5-9 miles) during the course of the trip. We will explore terrain unavailable to most group tours in New Zealand. In addition to hiking, you may arrange activities on your own – visiting museums, swimming with the dolphins, golfing, kayaking, zip lining, trout fishing, and jet boating. And travelers may choose to extend their trip beyond March 11th for an extra fee.
Trip base price: $4,500 (includes round trip airfare LAX/Auckland, all transport in NZ, all lodging, all guided hikes, all breakfasts, and dinner at the Hermitage on Mt. Cook/Aoraki)
