Carefully designed to elevate your holiday, these exciting moments have been crafted to cut right to the heart of each place you visit. Just look for the star icon throughout the itineraries.

Waitomo Caves

Descend into the caves beneath the lush Waitomo hills and look up to see a cavern illuminated with hundreds of tiny lights. A sight to behold, the phenomenon is the work of glowworms, which are unique to New Zealand.
