Encounter Wildlife from Fiords to Forests

Experience Aotearoa’s extraordinary landscapes and native species on a flexible self drive journey designed for nature lovers. Cruise through the dramatic fjords of Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound, then venture underground into the magical Te Anau Glowworm Caves. In the south, explore the Catlins and Otago Peninsula for rare penguins, sea lions and albatross in their natural habitats.

Head north to marvel at Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers on guided eco tours, or join an Akaroa wildlife cruise to spot Hector’s dolphins along the coast. Encounter giant marine life with Whale Watch Kaikoura, kayak the golden shores of Abel Tasman National Park, or explore the tranquil waterways of the Marlborough Sounds. Round out your adventure with a Zealandia Night Tour in Wellington or Bay of Islands dolphin cruises for unforgettable wildlife moments across both islands.
