Two Weeks in New Zealand: Both Islands, End to End
Geothermal wonders, alpine lakes and fiords, with time to relax in key stops
11-14 day New Zealand itineraries are an excellent way to cover the country’s headline scenery, characterful towns and signature nature spots without the constant feeling of racing the clock. Many trips connect the North and South Islands, blending time in places such as Auckland and Rotorua with alpine lakes, fiords and glacier country further south. Days are typically shaped around must-see sights and shared meals, while still leaving genuine downtime in hubs like Queenstown. With guided tours and group trips, you travel with a clear plan and helpful local insight, yet still get space to enjoy New Zealand’s wide horizons and crisp, clean air.

Real reviews from our travellers
Wellington & South Island - 14 daysDiscover the very best of New Zealand’s majestic South Island in two weeks. Setting off from the capital of Wellington, you will cross the Cook Strait and reach the pretty town of Nelson. Hike amongst the stunning scenery of Abel Tasman National Park, and explore Glacier Country. Marvel at Mt Cook, take tea with locals at Lake Tekapo, and cruise Milford Sound, all before ending in Christchurch. Worldwide Touring14The tour was wonderful, our guide/driver Peter M. did excellent job for taking care of all the details of this trip. Two outstanding sites impressed me the most were Punakaiki Pancake Beach and Mt. Cook.

The accommodation was also quite nice. The best one was in Wanaka. The worst one was in Punakaiki. We understand that there is not much to choose in Punakaiki, but the room had a strong musty/moldy smell.
