New Zealand: Through Middle Earth

New Zealand: Through Middle Earth

For those looking for something truly different, experience a place with crystal clear air and the most beautiful mountain vistas you’ve ever seen.

Let the Maori culture envelop you as you are driven through the entire country from Auckland to Milford Sound, where much of The Lord of the Rings was filmed. You’ll have lunch at a Maori warrior’s home, taste the wines of the Marlborough Wine Region, and visit private family estates before taking a jet boat ride along the rivers.
