Central Otago has a harsh but beautiful landscape due to its summer heat and winter cold. A lot of gold was discovered in the area in the late 1800’s. More recently in the late 1900’s it’s been discovered as a great place for growing grapes so there are some good reasons for exploring this area.

Day 30
Franz Josef Glacier to Punakaiki
There are some neat old towns to visit on the way north today as well as some great places to photograph the scenery and take a look at the dramatic coastline. Our experience tells us that it really is worth the drive north of Greymouth to stay the night at Punakaiki, best known for its Pancake Rocks and Blowholes - both of which are spectacular and a must-see when visiting the West Coast. Other activities include canoe adventures, horse trekking, caving and guided tours to name just a few. Punakaiki has many colourful local crafts people - jewellers, carvers, painters and potters.

32 Day Month in Paradise Reviews
Tour reviews from past clients of Relaxing Journeys for the 32 Day Month in Paradise.
We have had a wonderful time in New Zealand - our experience of Relaxing Journeys has been very positive and Toni was excellent in providing help and suggestions and in her speed of response when we were making the arrangements. We also feel that we had good value for money. We will certainly be recommending you to anyone we know who is traveling to NZ. We liked the tour and felt it was well balanced and gave us a very good experience of what NZ has to offer given the time available. The tour notes were accurate and gave good suggestions for things we might want to do. As we only have one driver the relatively short driving days were appreciated and gave us plenty of time to explore and do things on route. We liked the cheerful efficiency that we came across pretty much everywhere and the help and information that was freely given by hotel receptionists, transfer drivers etc. We felt that people were sincere in wanting to make things work properly and us to have the best experience we could and the smiles were not just on the surface, there was a genuine desire to show NZ off to its best advantage. We did many things that we have not done before including swimming with dolphins, Segway riding, black water rafting, jet boat riding and a glacier walk. These were all great experiences although I would admit some were a little more challenging than others. We have also done more walking and appreciating of the outdoors than we have done for many years - NZ just seems to be so beautiful that you want to get out there and see it. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable and such a positive experience.
Ann Coley (United Kingdom) Tour Date 09/11/2011
Relaxing Journeys helped us put together a customised 30-day tour of New Zealand that let us see all the major sights we had on our list. They were very responsive whenever we had questions and needed to contact them. Our contact was Toni Harris and she was a delight and easy to work with. She found time to provide great customer service even while scrambling to help others affected by the Christchurch earthquake. We loved New Zealand - what's not to love, it's a wonderful country with great people - and had a blast. We stayed mostly at motels (except for hotels in the big cities) which ranged from OK/good to super with one exception, the Hobbit motel in Waitomo, whose whimsy we did not appreciate and would have gladly traded for conventional accommodations. The NZ road atlas they provided was quite adequate for most of the trip, although we did get lost in the big cities (and obviously eventually found our way, primarily with the help of a rented phone, which we would recommend to all visitors). The itinerary provided by Relaxing Journeys was quite detailed and suggested attractions along the way from one destination to the next. We highly recommend Relaxing Journeys to anyone traveling to NZ, and would use them again.
Kathy Jolowicz (United States) Tour Date 14/04/2011
The tour is well named. We both loved New Zealand and everything about it. We enjoyed every minute of the tour and could easily have stayed longer. We were slighly disappointed not to have seen the extreme south of the South Island (Dunedin, Invergargill etc). That area is listed by the BBC as 'one of the top places to see before you die', but I suppose you can't fit everything into a month. Everything on the tour went without a hitch and we were impressed by the service we received everywhere we went. We can't think of anything negative to say except that a month wasn't long enough for us. Perhaps we'll have to come back some time!
Kit & Anne Reeve (United Kingdom) Tour Date 05/02/2011
Now that we've returned, caught our breath, and had a chance to recuperate, here are our thoughts on the trip: General Comments: Overall, the trip was a spectacular adventure for us. The travel materials provided were very helpful, particularly the atlas, which was invaluable. The voucher system was well-organized and worked flawlessly. In planning the trip, we found working with you to be a pleasure, and we were very pleased with your willingness and ability to accommodate our requests for changes. Thanks so much for your help in making this one of our most memorable vacations. We have many fond memories (and 597 pictures!) of New Zealand. (RJ - Edited for brevity)
Carole & Jim Hughes (United States) Tour Date 04/02/2011
We had a marvellous holiday in your fabulous country and we both send our thanks to you and the team at Relaxing Journeys for setting up such a splendid itinerary for us. In short, everything when exactly as planned and we were able to include just about all the suggestions you made plus a number of our own. The car hire and hotels arrangements worked perfectly and the included trips etc were a great bonus. On top of all this the weather was brilliant with only 3 days on which it rained for part of the time (Milford Sound, of course!). I have many digital images to edit so I shall be fully occupied for the next couple of months. I shall write to you in a week or so with some more detailed observations which may be of help to you when arranging similar holidays in the future. These are certainly not criticisms, we have none of those. We shall return!!
Brian & Sonia Clayton (United Kingdom) Tour Date 05/02/2010
We had a fantastic time in your beautiful country and found the itinerary to be well planned and organised. The time it saved us in bookings and research was immense. You requested useful comments so I include some observations, which I feel may be nit-picking as we really did have an incredible time with wonderful weather. We had an extra day in Christchurch to get over jeg-lag before taking to the road. Because of this we didn't need to return there. We're not city lovers and we drove to Akaroa from Christchurch on that day. We loved Doubtful Sound which we added to your itinerary. We were quite happy to also go to Milford Sound which you include, as that seems to be the 'Sound' most talked about. Doubtful Sound was definitely our favourite and we noted that the most photographed parts of Milford could be done on foot. Having said that, even if you'd told us that, we would probably have still wanted the experience. It might be worth looking at the Rotorua part of the itinerary. I realise the 5 star pass is not your own programme, but there were aspects of it where we would have preferred to substitute other things in the area. eg. We visited Wai-o-Tapu (much better than Te Puia) enroute from Taupo and the Buried Village. Instead of the Spa and Paradise Valley (more a children's place we felt and the lions weren't well kept) we could maybe have visited Waimangu and/or Hell's Gate. Please don't take this as criticism, more a constructive critique, which I hope you will find useful. Every single thing can't be everyone's 'cup-o'-tea' We really did have a great trip and 'adventure' and nothing to complain about. Thank you very much.
Kath & Rob Featherstone (United Kingdom) Tour Date 04/02/2010
We had an amazing time! Everything went very smoothly, picking up the rental car, checking into the hotels. Everything was ready and taken care of! The only thing we would suggest is more specific directions to the hotels. A couple of times we had to do some guess work. Especially in the small towns that we didn't have a map for. We want to thank Craig for all the help and getting us the additional days and staying in the places we wanted to. We truly felt that our vacation was made just for us! Stewart Island was wonderful. Thanks again for the vacation of a life time!
Trevor & Andrea Nipges (United States) Tour Date 13/01/2010
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf; the organisation was just perfect - all the hotels were expecting us, the car hire was simplicity, and the trips out were just right for us. And New Zealand was just great - a fascinating country with such a variety of geography - from mountains and glaciers to golden beaches and verdant pastures. We loved it all!! And the fine weather was a real bonus too. All in all, a wonderful 35 days. I will certainly recommend your company to any other Brits who want to see what NZ has to offer.
David & Maureen Southon (United Kingdom) Tour Date 11/01/2009
Right from the start, when we got you, we felt all would go well. We had done a lot of research & chose the tour nearest to what we wanted. New Zealand is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and polite; even the smallest town has local pride and organises tourist attractions. the scenery, the birds, the thermal and Maori stuff, museums, architecture, wine, motels, gardens - all top notch. We want to go again. All the arrangements for our tour went perfectly, so we had no worries at all. I would only change a few things - our visit to Ulva Island - I think the trip with Ulva Goodwillie, whom I met, would have been better than the one with Real Journeys, which was a bit perfunctory. The way to Nugget Point was rough, and when we got there the path was too steep for us old folk. Also next time we'll spend more time in fewer places. Norm says he really liked Norsewood Norwegian settlement, on the way to Mount Bruce. Thanks for everything. Delay in replying due to the horrors of Christmas.
Mr & Mrs Lee (United Kingdom) Tour Date 13/10/2008
Well we are home now in the UK after a super holiday. One which we will long remember and treasure. NZ really does sell itself as a beautiful country. We really did enjoy our holiday and want to thank you so much for your excellent organisation. We did many of your recommendations, and thoroughly enjoyed them. They were a good balance and interesting diversity. In addition, the prebooked trips were all excellent, interesting and well organised. We particularly enjoyed the Maori hosted walk in the forest at Hokianga and the superbly hosted, and informative, coach trip to Cape Reinga, although it was a long day. Grape Escape were also excellent. So to sum up, we had a wonderful holiday and will certainly recommend you to a number of friends who are interested in visiting NZ in the next year or two.
