We return through the countryside. Learn out about NZ history , the Maori and the people who live here. Options include the Antarctic Centre, Wilowbank (zoo with kiwi, NZ birds etc). NZ$110 p.p. Private Group Day Hire Rates available - up to 11 pax.
"This was by far preferable to tours offered by our cruise line. Eight of us made the cost a superlative value, plus we avoided crowds" Julie McEliece, USA
