LUXURY NEW ZEALAND HOLIDAYS

AN ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND

For its spectacular scenery alone, a holiday to New Zealand should be on the bucket list.

From the volcanic topography of the North Island to the deep fjords of the South Island, a New Zealand trip is a haven for nature lovers. Explore the ancient Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers with a helicopter tour, embark on a sea kayak trip along the golden beaches of Abel Tasman National Park, or plan a whale-watching cruise and swim with dolphins in the coastal town of Kaikoura. If you’re a real thrill-seeker, head to Queenstown for an array of adrenaline-fuelled adventures such as bungee-jumping, white-water rafting and tandem hang gliding.

New Zealand is also home to some of the world’s finest walking trails. Travel between November and April on your luxury New Zealand holidays, and you can trek (or rather ‘tramp’ as the Kiwis say) for four to five days along the infamous Milford Track, entirely surrounded by some of the most spectacular alpine terrain.

Besides being one of the most beautiful countries on the planet, New Zealand is also rich in culture. On your New Zealand holidays, visit some of the most important Maori sites in the north amidst the island-studded seascapes of the Bay of Islands and learn about Maori history and traditions at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington.

Lovers of great food and wine must visit New Zealand’s world-class restaurants in Wellington and Christchurch, and explore the incredible wine regions, Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay, for an exceptional glass (or two) of the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

For fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise, enter the world of Tolkien and visit the Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata before driving south through the spectacular film locations from Tongariro National Park to Wellington on your tailor-made New Zealand holidays.

WHY CHOOSE US

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS

“A TRUSTED CHOICE EVERY TIME”
From start to finish, everything is handled with care and attention, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. As a solo traveller, I appreciate the consistency- while there is a supplement, the quality of accommodation is never compromised. The escorted tours suit me perfectly, with excellent hotels, knowledgeable guides and the flexibility to opt in or out of the daily programme. With a relaxed pace and time to properly enjoy each destination, it all adds up to a far better experience. While they may be a little more than some group holidays, the smaller, friendly groups and overall quality make it well worth it.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“MEMORABLE TRIP OF A LIFETIME TO RAJASTHAN”
From our initial briefing with the travel consultant through to departure, we received excellent, well-informed service. The itinerary and recommendations were perfectly suited to what we were looking for, and any questions or changes were handled quickly and efficiently. We would highly recommend The Ultimate Travel Company for a big trip: their expertise and advice were second to none.
