Majestic Fiords, Alpine Trails, and the Adventure Spirit of New Zealand
Few destinations pack as much natural drama into one trip as New Zealand’s South Island. This adventure weaves through bucket-list icons – cruising the majestic Milford Sound, riding the Skyline Gondola for sweeping views over Queenstown, and exploring the serenity of Te Anau’s lakeshore. Between runs, you’ll discover the country’s cinematic landscapes, from glacier-fed rivers to towering peaks made famous on the big screen. Paired with warm Kiwi hospitality, fresh local cuisine, and a laid-back vibe, it’s the ultimate way to experience one of the world’s most celebrated adventure destinations.
