In Rotorua
Rotorua sits calmly atop some remarkable cracks in the earth's crust - sometimes giving the impression that the town is on fire. This morning take a tour of Te Puia to see roaring geysers and boiling mud pools at the thermal areas. Also see the native and exotic vegetation at Rainbow Springs, which are world renowned for their pools of tame trout. Finally, the Agrodome Farm display features a vital section of New Zealand's agriculture, sheep shearing and a sheep dog display. Your afternoon is free. |

Pass through pristine beech forests and the Homer Tunnel to view the majesty of Mitre Peak and Bowen Falls aboard a cruise on Milford Sound. Depart Milford Sound to return to Queenstown by evening. |
Day

At leisure in Queenstown
Today is completely at your leisure to enjoy the many sights of this alpine resort situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. We have included the Skyline Gondola in your tour. Queenstown offers something for everyone - you can enjoy the quiet beauty and tranquility of this mountain retreat and enjoy several walking trails in the town area. For sheer excitement there is white-water rafting, helicopter rides, the famous jet boats, bungy jumping to pump your adrenalin, and offroad 4WD tours with plenty of river crossings. There are cruises on the lake and a visit to a high country sheep station, and wine tasting tours. You can visit nearby Arrowtown where the main street has been preserved since the 1860's gold rush days and you can try your luck and pan for gold in the adjacent Shotover River. |

6 Day Fabulous New Zealand Reviews
Tour reviews from past clients of Relaxing Journeys for the 6 Day Fabulous New Zealand. |
This tour was part of a longer six week break covering Hong Kong, NZ, Australia and Singapore. Very well organised at all times, removed all of the stress of organsing hotels, transport and hotel transfers in NZ. It enabled us to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenes and sights of your lovely country. The coach drivers were extremely helpful and informative. The hotels were all well located with the exception of the Copthorne in Rotorua which was a bit far out from the centre of town. We would recommend RJ's to our friends.

The customised independent tour arrangement worked quite well. Flying from point to point in New Zealand was great with no problems. We were met at all points as scheduled. In general the hotels were as expected and most had Guest Laundry which allowed for less luggage. Recommend that all hotel rooms be provided with breakfast as part of the deal. It was not necessary to pay ahead for lunch for any trip since you stopped enough to get something to eat. Would be nice to know ahead the planned stops. Although it rained for 11 of the 14 days we were in New Zealand, the mountains, lakes, and buildings did not change. Toni was quite helpful in deciding what we wanted to do and making the arrangements for the tour.
