NZ Intro — 17 Day

Set off on a 17-day New Zealand adventure that takes you from steaming volcanic valleys and Māori cultural treasures in the north to glacier-carved peaks and misty fjords in the south. You’ll wander through Hobbiton, explore glowworm-lit caves, and soak up the buzz of Wellington before crossing to the South Island for big-sky hikes, dramatic alpine scenery, and plenty of fresh mountain air.

Along the way, you’ll get the best of both worlds: iconic sights and the kind of local experiences that make a trip feel real. Think jet boating through wild scenery, cruising past towering fjords, and sharing the journey with an awesome group leader and a crew of new mates. With accommodation sorted and support to help you get set up for work in New Zealand, this is the kind of trip that makes arrival easy and every day feel like a new story. If New Zealand’s been calling your name, this is a cracking way to answer.

Know before you go: - Meet your group leader at the start of the trip in Auckland and be ready to begin your adventure from day one. - Bring comfortable walking shoes, layered clothing, and a warm jacket, especially for South Island weather. - Pack a day bag for hikes and sightseeing, plus a reusable water bottle and sunscreen. - Some activities are weather dependent, so the route or timing may be adjusted for safety and the best experience. - If you plan to work in New Zealand after the trip, bring any documents you may need for job searching and settling in. - Check your final departure details carefully before travel, as specific start times and meeting points can change.
