NEW ZEALAND

Kia Ora and welcome to Aotearoa, the ‘land of the long white cloud’. From the spectacular scenery of the far north to the dramatic wilderness of its southernmost reaches, New Zealand is yours to discover.

Nature’s masterpiece

From towering snow-capped mountains and glistening turquoise lakes to bubbling geysers and the greenest farmland, New Zealand is breathtakingly beautiful.

A wealth of unique wildlife

Experience heart-warming moments and encounter New Zealand’s iconic Kiwi, other native birds and wildlife and the teams committed to protecting them.

Celebration of culture

Take an in-depth journey of discovery. Be immersed in the history, stories, and treasures of the Māori culture. Learn about Māori integration and achievements and enjoy traditionally inspired food.

Adventure is calling

Enjoy Shotover Jets through the Dart River Valley, Skyline Gondola rides over Queenstown or a kayak excursion in the stunning Milford Sound – feel exhilarated as you explore New Zealand’s iconic beauty.

Discover New Zealand

Charming towns frequented by friendly locals, immense landscapes inhabited by extraordinary wildlife and the powerful Mãori culture that still resonates today. New Zealand may be divided by north and south, but combine the two and you have the journey of a lifetime.

The North Island

The serene Bay of Islands attracts water lovers, from fishermen to sailing enthusiasts. Multicultural Auckland is the country’s largest city; it’s a place that demands you dig a little deeper to unearth the real charm of the region. In Wellington, the plentiful bars, cafés and museums are encircled by lookout hilltops and a craggy shoreline. Rotorua shies away from the metropolitan buzz, swapping modernity for authentic Mãori culture and substituting silver skylines with natural mineral pools, which are ideal for a relaxing Polynesian spa day.

The South Island

In between the cities and towns where locals dwell, great mountains, glimmering waterways and ivory glaciers fill the gaps. One of the best ways to navigate this eclectic landscape is by boarding the TranzAlpine railway and journeying through the magnificent Southern Alps, or by taking to the many rivers and lakes for a tranquil (or exhilarating) boat ride. Peace and tranquility is easily found on these bountiful lands.

Walk on the wild side

Rudyard Kipling once described Milford Sound as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. Now, this fusion of spectacular treasures is an adventurer’s playground, perfect for rural hikes, diving, kayaking and everything else in between. The conveniently accessible Franz Josef Glacier is a modern day slice of the Ice Age, easily explored with an expert guide. In Rotorua, orange-rimmed geothermal pools emanate clouds of hot steam. With so few people inhabiting this fertile land, so much of New Zealand remains perfectly unspoilt.

Schedule 1

Key rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018

Part 1 – General

The combination of travel services offered to You is a package within the meaning of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.

Therefore You will benefit from all EU rights applying to the packages. We will be fully responsible for the proper performance of the package as a whole. Additionally, as required by law, We have protection in place to refund Your payments and, where transport is included in the package, to ensure Your repatriation in the event that it becomes insolvent.

Part 2 – Key rights under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018

Travellers will receive all essential information about the package before concluding the package travel contract.

There is always at least one trader who is liable for the proper performance of all the travel services included in the contract.

Travellers are given an emergency telephone number or details of a contact point where they can get in touch with the organiser or the travel agent. Travellers may transfer the package to another person, on reasonable notice and possibly subject to additional costs.

The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and if expressly provided for in the contract, and in any event not later than 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveller may terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to a price increase, the traveller has a right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in the relevant costs.

Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee and get a full refund of any payments if any of the essential elements of the package, other than the price, has changed significantly. If before the start of the package the trader responsible for the package cancels the package, travellers are entitled to a refund and compensation where appropriate.

Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee before the start of the package in the event of exceptional circumstances, for instance if there are serious security problems at the destination which are likely to affect the package.

Additionally, travellers may at any time before the start of the package terminate the contract in return for an appropriate and justifiable termination fee.

If, after the start of the package, significant elements of the package cannot be provided as agreed, suitable alternative arrangements will have to be offered to the traveller at no extra cost. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee, where services are not performed in accordance with the contract and this substantially affects the performance of the package and the organiser fails to remedy the problem.

Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction or compensation for damages or both where the travel services are not performed or are improperly performed.

The organiser has to provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty.

If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser or, where applicable, the retailer becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, repatriation of the travellers is secured.
