Starting from Auckland, we take our time making our way down the beautiful and volcanic North Island to New Zealand's capital, Wellington, before catching a ferry to cross the Cook Strait to get up close and personal with the best of the South Island. Our Amplified tour comes complete with some very special inclusions: experiencing a Māori cultural night traditional hāngā« meal, learning haka and poi dance, and carving your very own pounamu (greenstone/jade) pendant in Franz Josef. Activities can also be purchased on the road "“ just let your tour guide know. We can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest pre-booking any activities you especially want to do. As the tour starts early in the morning, you can opt to book accommodation in Auckland with us the night before the tour "“ only having to walk downstairs on the day the tour starts makes for a stress-free morning.
