Itinerary Hightlights:

Surrounded by tranquil golden beaches, lush forests and dramatic coastal trails, Auckland is a nature lover's paradise. The 48 volcanic cones that dot the surrounding area provide stunning panoramic views of the city and harbour. New Zealand's largest city is also a shopper's paradise offering everything from top designers to local open-air markets. Learn about the indigenous Maori and take home some native art pieces or jewellery. The fine, locally produced woolens also make excellent gifts.

From Tauranga, unwind at Rotorua's famous hot springs and learn about Maori culture at Te Puia's Maori Arts & Crafts Institute.

Then travel along the Dunedin Peninsula to the Royal Albatross Centre for a rare opportunity to see this incredible birds that boasts 10-foot wide wingspans and visit the historic Larnach Castle and explore its lush grounds.

Carved by ancient glaciers, Milford Sound, which is really a fjord, is the crown jewel of Fiordland National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is only nine miles long from its head to the open sea, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in grandeur.

Although technically not a sound (it's a fjord), Doubtful Sound is the second longest in New Zealand-and the country's second most famous tourist attraction. It does, however, capture the top spot for being the deepest, at over 1,300 feet. 

Melbourne offers an ideal blend of a vibrant city surrounded by extraordinary landscapes and abundant wildlife - where you can indulge in fine dining and local wineries or hang with irresistibly adorable koalas and kangaroos.
