Places You’ll See
Highlights
- Make Travel Matter
- The Real Country Farm Show offers an authentic taste of what rural New Zealand is like. For every guest, we donate funds to The Fairlight Foundation, Advancing Women in Agriculture.
- Iconic Sites
- From the bubbling geysers of Rotorua to the gem-like surface of Franz Josef Glacier/Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere, nature and culture unite across the North and South islands.
- Flexible Holidays
- We’ve crafted an itinerary with plenty of two-night stays, so you can sleep in and take the pulse of your destination, whether Queenstown, Wellington, Nelson or Rotorua.
- Natural Wonders
- More than 85% of Stewart Island is protected national park – unspoilt and largely unpeopled. It’s a magnet for the kiwi bird, which thrives here.

Customer Reviews
- Kathleen· March 3rd, 2025Optional activities should be scheduled in advance and not as the tour progresses. That way we can know whether or not we can get the activity. If not, it can be scheduled online. I had no access to these activities from Tour Radars website and didn’t know they existed. Luckily I scheduled on my own and got to see what I wanted. Others did not.Show more
- Lorne· February 25th, 2025Excellent, guide and driver were exceptional.Show more
