Alps, Christchurch, Queenstown, Rotorua, Wellington

Highlights

  • Cruise through the scenic Poor Knights Islands on a full-day adventure on the water to see some of the north island’s natural beauty. This area is also a Marine Reserve with volcanic origins over 11 million years old, creating some pretty epic biodiversity.
  • Discover the diversity of Rotorua, from unbelievable geothermal activity to rich Maori culture. Visit a Maori village for a hangi dinner and traditional haka performance.
  • Admire the out-of-this-world landscapes of Tongariro National Park, from emerald green lakes to soaring volcanic peaks. If you’re up for the challenge, tackle the famous Tongariro Crossing.
  • Live it up in the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown. Whether you fancy bungy jumping, jet boating, horseback riding or wine tasting, there’s something here to entice everyone.
  • Visit a local gallery in Franz Josef and carve a pendant out of pounamu while learning about the precious stone’s significance to Maori culture.

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"Very good tour with lots of variety. As it’s a new tour I feel that it could be improved a bit. For eg personally I would rather have stayed in barranco than Mirraflores as it seemed to have more to offer. All the hotels were good. Breakfast in hassienda Cusco was disappointing. Also wasn’t too interested in victor delfinos house. It would have been nice if we could have tried our hand at pisco making. Rather than just watching although interesting. Cerviche making was good but again could we have made it ourselves? When we had lunch at sumaq it wasn’t wine tasting as we know it but 2 glasses of wine with lunch, Food lovely. the potato visit was very interesting. Pacha manca lunch was very good, as was the gunea pig restaurant in Arequipa. Really enjoyed Arequipa. And of course Machu Picchu was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip overall and Darwin, our guide was super fab. All the food was amazing. Had an amazing time"

What travelers are saying

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."
