Day 01

Arrival in Coromandel

‍

Welcome to New Zealand!

Your 13-night New Zealand tour package from Hyderabad starts the moment you land in Auckland. After picking up your rental car, you’ll drive through rolling farmland and coastal roads, slowly leaving the city behind.

The journey itself feels refreshing, with changing views and quiet stretches along the way.
Once you reach Coromandel, the rest of the day is yours to relax and explore at your own pace.

You can experience:

‍Hot Water Beach: Dig your own natural hot pool by the sea and relax in warm water right on the beach.‍
Cathedral Cove: Walk to this iconic coastal spot with stunning rock formations and turquoise waters.‍
The Lost Spring (Whitianga): Enjoy a relaxing thermal soak surrounded by greenery.‍
Driving Creek Railway: A unique forest ride offering scenic views and a peaceful experience.

Spend your evening unwinding in this quiet coastal region.

Day 02

Cathedral Cove Glass Bottom Boat and Drive to Rotorua via Waitomo

This morning brings a beautiful coastal experience before continuing your New Zealand tour package south. Get ready to step aboard a glass bottom boat and explore one of the most stunning stretches of coastline in the country.

‍Cathedral Cove Glass Bottom Boat Tour: Glide across the water to the famous Cathedral Cove, where a natural stone archway opens to a secluded bay. Look down through the glass panels and watch schools of fish swim beneath you. Your guide will take you past sea caves, towering rock formations and hidden beaches. Sit across from your partner and feel the gentle sway of the boat as you move through the clear turquoise water together.

After the tour, drive south toward Rotorua and make a stop at one of New Zealand's most magical places.

‍Waitomo Glowworm Caves: Step into the underground world of limestone chambers and walk through narrow passages to the Tomo shaft. Your guide will share the history of the caves and the unique geology that shaped them. Then board a silent boat and drift under thousands of glowing lights, creating an unforgettable moment with your loved one as the glowworms shine above you like a private night sky.

Continue driving to Rotorua, check into your hotel, and take some time to relax before dinner.

Day 03

Rotorua Redwood Treewalk and Polynesian Spa

Today is for leisure and gentle discovery in Rotorua. Spend the morning exploring the town or relaxing by the lake before heading out for a unique forest and spa experience this evening.

The day covers:

‍Polynesian Sulphur Spa: Soak in geothermal pools fed by the Priest Spring and Rachel Spring, both known for their mineral-rich, restorative waters. The lake views from the pools are calm and wide, and the steam rising around you makes the whole thing feel deeply relaxed.‍
Redwood Treewalk Nightlights: Head to the Whakarewarewa Forest. The suspended walkway sits up to 20 metres above the forest floor, winding through 120-year-old Californian redwoods. Walk across suspended bridges and watch the forest glow with soft lanterns, creating a romantic and magical experience for you and your loved one. ‍

Find a romantic dinner spot in the city and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Day 04

Rotorua to Auckland, Fly to Christchurch

Say goodbye to the North Island this morning. Drive north from Rotorua to Auckland Airport, passing through green farmland and the Waikato region. You can stop at Cambridge for a coffee along the main street or take a quiet walk through Hamilton Gardens if time allows.

Return the rental car at the airport and board your flight to the South Island. As you descend over the Southern Alps, watch the landscape change — wide plains, braided rivers, and snow-dusted peaks come into view.

After landing in Christchurch, your private transfer will take you into the city. Check into your hotel and make yourself comfortable. The evening is yours to explore the town, you can head out and visit:

Botanic Gardens and Hagley Park: Wide, open gardens right in the middle of the city. Walk slowly through the themed sections, find a bench, and let the afternoon move at its own pace.
Avon River and Punting: The Avon runs through the city centre, and a punt on the river is one of those gentle Christchurch experiences that stays with you. Take your time on the water together.
Riverside Market and The Terrace: Good food, cafes, and an easy evening energy near the waterfront. A good spot to end the day with dinner.

Day 05

Christchurch to Franz Josef via TranzAlpine Train

Get ready for one of the best train journeys in the world. This morning, your private transfer will take you to the railway station to board the TranzAlpine train. Settle into your seat and watch the scenery unfold as the train climbs from the Canterbury Plains into the Southern Alps.

‍TranzAlpine Train: Travel 223 kilometres across river valleys, through beech forests, and over high viaducts. The train passes through 16 tunnels and crosses the spine of the South Island before descending into Greymouth. Sit by the window with your partner and take in the changing landscapes together.

After reaching Greymouth, pick up your self-driven rental car and continue the drive south to Franz Josef. The route takes you through rainforest, past rivers, and toward the glaciers. Check into your accommodation in the evening and relax after a full day of travel.

Day 06

Franz Josef to Wanaka via Haast Pass

Drive south this morning through one of the most scenic routes in New Zealand. The road takes you from glacier country through the Haast Pass and into the wide open basin of Wanaka.

On the way, take a stop at:

Thunder Creek Falls and Fantail Falls: Two waterfalls right beside the road that are worth pulling over for. Thunder Creek drops sharply into the forest below and is one of the most impressive roadside stops in the country.
Lake Hawea Viewpoint: The road curves above the lake before descending, and the views of the water and surrounding mountains from here are wide and quietly beautiful. Stop and take a photograph with your partner.

Arrive in Wanaka in the late afternoon. Take a walk along the lake, watch the famous lone tree standing in the water, or explore the town centre with your loved one before settling in for the evening.

The drive from Wanaka to Queenstown takes you over the Crown Range, the highest sealed road in New Zealand, with wide views of the Wakatipu Basin before you descend into the adventure capital.

On the way, take a stop at:

Cardrona Hotel: One of New Zealand's most photographed historic buildings, built in 1863 and still standing on the roadside. Stop for a moment and take a picture together in front of it.
Kawarau Bridge Bungy: The world's first commercial bungy jump site. You do not have to jump to appreciate what this place started, but it is worth stopping to watch from the viewing platform.
Crown Range Summit: Pull over at the top before you descend and take in the wide view of the Wakatipu Basin below. It is one of the better photo stops on this New Zealand package.

Arrive in Queenstown and check in to Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park. After a rest, head out along the lakefront and spend the evening exploring Queenstown on foot with your partner.

Today brings the full majesty of Fiordland. Board the coach early in the morning and settle in for the drive south through wide valleys and forested passes.‍

‍Milford Sound Nature Cruise: After reaching Milford Sound, step aboard the boat and glide past towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the iconic Mitre Peak. Watch for fur seals basking on rocks and listen to the guide share stories of the fiord's formation. Sit across from your partner with the spray on your face and the mountains rising high above the water. It is one of the most memorable moments in this New Zealand trip package.

Enjoy a buffet lunch on board before returning to Queenstown in the evening. The drive back offers one last look at the valleys and peaks you passed earlier in the day.

Day 09

Queenstown Skydive and Onsen Hot Pools

This morning is for pure adrenaline and breathtaking views. Get ready for the most thrilling experience of your trip.

‍9000ft Tandem Skydive: Board the plane and watch the landscape shrink below you as you climb to altitude. Hold your partner's hand before you step out into freefall. For a few seconds, the world rushes past you — the lake, the mountains, the towns far below. Then the parachute opens and you drift quietly down together, taking in the wide expanse of Queenstown and the Remarkables from above.

After the adrenaline fades, slow the day down with a quiet evening soak.‍

‍Onsen Hot Pools: Relax in a private cedar tub perched on the hillside with views of the Shotover River canyon. Lean back with your loved one and watch the light change across the water. A perfect way to end the day.

Today is a mix of views and fun. Get ready with your partner to experience the joy and little adventures Queenstown is known for.
The day will take you through:

Luge Rides: Enjoy three fun luge rides down the tracks full of twists and turns. Share laughs and feel the cool air as you go down together.‍
Jet Boat Ride: Experience a fast-paced jet boat ride across Lake Wakatipu and through the narrow river canyons. Hold on tight as the boat spins, drifts, and rushes through the clear water.‍

In the afternoon, take your car out and explore:

‍Glenorchy: Drive along the western shore of Lake Wakatipu to reach this small village. Known as the Gateway to Paradise. Walk along the shore, take in the fresh air, and enjoy the calm surroundings together.‍
Moke Lake: A quiet, hidden spot surrounded by mountains. Ideal for a peaceful pause, sitting by the water, and enjoying the silence.

Return to Queenstown in the evening and find somewhere good for a final dinner in the adventure capital.

Day 11

Queenstown to Lake Tekapo via Helicopter and Stargazing

‍Lake Pukaki: Stop at the lake viewpoint and watch the clear reflections of Aoraki / Mount Cook on the water. Don't forget to take pictures here with your partner.‍
Alpine Vista Helicopter Ride: Board a scenic helicopter flight over the Ben Ohau Range and the Southern Alps. Fly over glaciers, ice fields, and deep valleys before landing on a high-altitude snow field. Step out together and stand in the silence of the mountains. It is one of the most memorable moments in this New Zealand holiday package.

Drive onward to Lake Tekapo, check into your cottage, and take the rest of the day to relax. As night falls, get ready for the magical experience specially curated for you.‍

Watch 4D and HD films and explore interactive exhibits on polar exploration and wildlife. A fun and immersive way to spend your final afternoon in the South Island.

Find a good spot for dinner and enjoy the rest of the evening with your partner.

Day 13

Christchurch to Auckland

Pack your bags and say goodbye to Christchurch. One night in Auckland remains before the journey home.

Drive yourself to Christchurch Airport, drop off your South Island rental car, and board your flight to Auckland. Your private transfer meets you at Auckland Airport and takes you to a hotel in the city centre.

Check in, freshen up, and head out for the evening. Auckland's waterfront and harbour are easy to explore on foot. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. You can step out with your partner and explore:

Viaduct Harbour: Find a table at a waterfront restaurant, watch the boats come in, and let the city introduce itself on your final night in New Zealand.
Sky Tower: Head up for wide views over the city and both coasts. Auckland looks its best from up here at dusk.
