Overview

Departs on Wednesdays. Calendar here: https://www.straytravel.com/tours/new-zealand/select/ruru-tour-25-26/ Curious about a 19-day New Zealand tour from Auckland to Christchurch? Named after our native enigmatic owl (the Morepork, with its haunting "more-pork" call and stunning golden eyes). Start in vibrant Auckland, the City of Sails, then lace up for epic hikes like the Tongariro Crossing and Lake Tarawera trails. Feel the magic of famous fjords, lush rainforests, and breathtaking alpine vistas. Savour a traditional hangi feast, earth-cooked for its smoky flavour. Unwind in hidden thermal streams amid native bush, or dig your own spa at Hot Water Beach. Explore national parks’ secret waterfalls, glowworm caves, and wildlife. Enjoy an adrenaline rush in Queenstown. Cap it off with a starry night in Tekapo, sharing tales with local guides. All in 3-4 star hotels. Is this your ultimate Kiwi escape? Join our Ruru Select Tour, which stops top your bucket list?
