Accommodation on this trip is in multi-share dormitories with shared facilities. Dorms consist of 4-8 beds. Our first preference is always single gender rooming allocation. If this isn’t possible, accommodation will be in mixed gender dorms. People travelling together may be separated due to rooming configurations. You may also be required to share with non-Tuuur travellers.

Itinerary
Explore mountains, glaciers and beaches on a New Zealand adventure
Jump into a world of geothermal wonders, white-water rapids, glaciers and oceanside summits on this 19-day adventure across New Zealand’s South and North Islands. Starting in the south, you’ll explore the limsestone landscape of pancake-shaped rock formations and blowholes at Punakaiki, spend two nights in Queenstown and walk through the forest near Franz Josef Glacier. Then journey to the north, where you’ll learn about Maori culture from a local guide, roll down the Rotorua hillside in a zorb and hike up Mount Maunganui. Explore the best of New Zealand from bottom to top and enjoy plenty of free time to skydive, stargaze or unwind with your new friends – maybe with a local beer or cocktail in hand.
