The Best of New Zealand with Singapore
We love...
Splashing the cash in neon-drenched Orchard Road - Singapore’s biggest shopping area. Marvelling at majestic Mount Cook, the 'Cloud Piercer'.
Your first stop is the Lion City. Singapore has a heady mix of gleaming towers, and manicured green spaces, world-class restaurants, shopping and nightlife - and we get to sample it all. Then it’s on to an intoxicating fusion of natural beauty, big-city cool and Maori culture. New Zealand is well worth the journey. See the dramatic scenery of the South and North Island - the snow-capped Southern Alps, fiords, glaciers, natural hot springs and award-winning wine regions. You’ll spend time in laid-back cities, including two nights each in capital city Wellington and the ‘City of Sails’, Auckland. And you’ll finish your New Zealand itinerary in the subtropical Bay of Islands, home to soaring sand dunes and a rugged coastline.
