New Zealand

We offer an unparalleled connection to the true essence of New Zealand. Renowned for its stunning mountains, Manuka honey, and Middle Earth landscapes, New Zealand is a truly exceptional destination. The indigenous Māori name for the country, Aotearoa, translates to "land of the long white cloud," and the locals, affectionately known as Kiwis, take great pride in their rich cultural heritage. Our journey will take you from the coast to the mountains, starting with a city tour of Auckland, a cruise on the iconic Milford Sound, and a taste of a mince and cheese pie. We’ll enjoy New Zealand's Lemon & Paeroa drink, delve into Māori traditions, and explore Wellington's Great War Exhibition. With unique adventures around every corner, travel with us to discover the endless possibilities with our exclusive Encore Australis Highlights.

What to pack for New Zealand

Camera and Memory Card
With so many stunning sights, don't forget to bring a camera (and an extra memory card) to capture the best moments. The picturesque landscapes of New Zealand are definitely worth preserving and displaying.
Extra Bag Space
With the chance to pick up woolen sweaters and fresh Manuka honey, having extra bag space is essential when traveling in New Zealand. Be sure to check local customs regulations before you depart.
Comfortable Walking Shoes
Given the variety of activities available in New Zealand, comfortable walking shoes are a must. This will help you avoid blisters and discomfort and ensure you can fully enjoy all your adventures.
Seasonal Gear
Depending on whether you're hitting the slopes or the beaches, pack accordingly. Bring warm clothing for skiing or swimwear for a dip to fully enjoy what New Zealand has to offer.
Portable Charger
With all the exploring you'll be doing, your devices are likely to drain quickly. Keep a portable charger handy to ensure your electronics stay powered throughout your trip.
Sustainable Packing
To reduce your environmental impact, opt for a zero-waste approach by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, shopping bags, and refillable toiletry containers.
