Here you will find some examples, set out in very basic form, of some New Zealand vacation itineraries - if you wish, we can create for you a personal vacation based around any of them.

Important Note - if you want us to create a vacation itinerary based on one of these examples, you will still need to select your 'Must Do Experiences' and your 'Accommodation Catagory' in each of the places included in the example itinerary.

When we get your Wish List we will send you a fully detailed suggested vacation itinerary and costing - this will be based on the Example Itinerary, the Must Do Experiences and the Accommodation Catagories that you have selected.
