"The overnight cruise on Milford Sound was amazing! Kayaking on Lake Hawea was a lot of fun too. The drive from Lake Wanaka to the Matukituki River and the Rob Roy Glacier Hike was really beautiful, and then the hike up to Key Summit also! Dinner at Jon's house the first night was great! I really can't choose a highlight... It was all great - I guess this whole trip was a highlight!" |

| Milford
Sound Overnight Cruise |
|
 Upon
arrival in the afternoon at Milford Sound, we will board our waiting
vessel for an overnight cruise of the sound (it's actually a fiord!).
We will cruise the length of the sound, stopping overnight in a
quiet bay. You will also get the chance to paddle their sea kayaks
in the evening and early morning. Glacier carved hanging valleys,
thick native forest, spectacular waterfalls and sheer precipices
tower over the fiord.

| Hungi - a Maori Feast! |
 Ever eaten so much you can hardly walk – this is what you’ll get when you sample a traditional Maori feast in Rotorua. See, learn and taste food being prepared and cooked the ancient way as the night unfolds to a relaxed, informal, friendly and fun atmosphere of feasting and entertainment. All meats and vegetables are cooked in the tradition fashion, beneath the ground on hot rocks. Vegetarian meals are a specialty and are also catered for. Dinner is buffet style with the menu consisting of lamb, pumpkin, steamed pudding, chicken, potatoes, fresh fruit salad, fish kumara (sweet potato), custard and cream, shellfish, seasoning, caramel sauce, salad and Maori bread. |

| Day
Hikes |
 Each
day we’ll hike around two to four miles on tracks we believe
to be the best in the South Island. Our guides have encyclopedic knowledge
of New Zealand’s natural history, vegetation and wildlife and
delight in sharing the many natural wonders of New Zealand with our
visitors. |

| Snorkeling |
 Prefer
underwater activities to land based? Snorkeling is the next best thing
to deep sea diving. With New Zealand’s clear water and abundant
fish life, you too will be able to spot that Bluehead sucker, more
commonly referred to as Catostomus discobolus. While our Guides might
not know every single species, they can definitely show you how to
have a good time with a pair of flippers, a mask and snorkel. If you would like to read more about New Zealand's friendly Dusky Dolphins and swimming with them, click here. |

Tour |
 The
South Island of New Zealand is fast gaining a reputation for its
wine. The Wilson family planted Mount Maude vineyard in 1994 in
the beautiful Maungawera Valley near Wanaka. Dawn and Terry welcome

the area.
