Travelled with Thomascook and Ms Aruna was tour Manager.
Entire country is very scenic. Liked it more than Switzerland. Entire trip was very nice. Best time to visit is October and November. Other months also good but winter is very cold-if you go with enough preparation for sub zero temperature and snow, you can really enjoy.
Hamiltan Garden is beautiful. can spend 2-3 hours happily.
Rotorua-Agro farming and agro show is good but depends on idividuals interest. But you can definitely enjoy scenic beauty around. But Maori dance show and Tepuia-natural thermal geysers are worth seeing. Excellent.
Waltimo caves-never miss this, specially boat journey in glowworm caves is unique experience.
Queens town- one should never miss adventure sports, especially Jet boat ride. A life time experience. Wanaka Puzzling world is another marvelous experience.
Journey to and Cruise in Milford Sound is unforgettable. It cant be explained but has to be experienced only
over all, Newzealand is a country one can enjoy every city, every inch.
Added to this, we had a very good Tour Manager, who was well informed, friendly and very accommodating who took care of the entire group very well. This enhanced the joy of the trip.
