Aucklands amazing geography and warm, humid climate has inspired a lifestyle thats regularly ranked in the worlds top ten. In just half an hour you can be almost anywhere - sailing to an island, trekking through the rainforest, picnicking on a volcano, sampling wines at a vineyard or wandering a wild, black sand surf beach.

The earth hisses, mud boils, geyers shoot violently into the air. Teeming with thermal wonders, Rotorua is one of the country's most spectacular sites. The area is situated on a volcanic fault line and has been inhabited by the Maori since the 14th century. While most live in Western-style residences, they continue to use the thermal waters for everything from cooking traditional Hangi feast to heating and washing. Woodcarving is taught to young apprentices at Rotorua's Maori Arts and Crafts Institute.

Napier (Day 3)

In this fertile region of vineyards, fruit orchards and sheep farms, Napier stands out elegantly as one of the loveliest cities in New Zealand. Completely rebuilt after the 1931 Hawke´s Bay earthquake, it now boasts one of the most complete collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Lyttelton (Day 5)

Port Chalmers-Dunedin Harbour (Day 6)

Doubtful Sound (Day 7)

Powerful glaciers carving their way toward the sea 14,000 years ago created New Zealand´s magnificent Fjordland, the awesome beauty of which is unmatched outside Norway. Doubtful Sound is the deepest of the fiords at 421m deep. There are three 'arms' to the fiord with some dramatic waterfalls amongst the highlights to be seen.

Dusky Sound (Day 7)

Powerful glaciers carving their way toward the sea 14,000 years ago created New Zealand´s magnificent Fjordland, the awesome beauty of which is unmatched outside Norway.

The largest of New Zealand´s fjords, it was discovered by Captain Cook in 1770 and its haunting beauty remains untouched.

Milford Sound (Day 7)

Carved by glacial ice thousands of years ago, Milford Sound is a living travel poster. Sheer granite cliffs rise hundreds of feet above you. White plumed waterfalls tumble from mountain valleys into the gorge. Seals sun themselves on the rock islands and penguins swim in the icy blue water.

Melbourne (Day 10)

Started by merchants rather than convicts and fueled by a great gold rush, Melbourne reflects its prosperous 19th century beginnings in its glass high-rises. To experience Melbourne, ride a historic tram past terraced houses, visit art galleries, or shop the fashionable "Paris End" boutiques of Collins Street.

Burnie, Tasmania (Day 11)

A regional city best known for its busy container port and major industries, Burnie unveils a wealth of unexpected places to visitors with a few hours up their sleeve or a day or two to set aside.

Eden (Day 12)

The southern gateway to the Sapphire Coast, Eden is set in rugged beauty with golden sandy beaches and crystal waters to the east and forests and parklands to the west. It sees the whales feeding as they migrate every year; the days when men and killer whales worked together to herd the gentle giants for the whaling industry are long gone and faithfully recorded in fascinating displays at the Eden Killer Whale Museum.
Attractions & Activities
Eden Gateway Information Centre - Located on the corner of Princes Highway and Mitchell Street, the office has plenty of information, maps, T-shirts, souvenirs and Aboriginal Art.Local Walks - A stroll through Eden's streets will give visitors some insight into life in a small Australian town. Historic buildings include the Great Southern Inn at the corner of Imlay and Chandos Streets, and St. George's Church dating from 1865. A board walk around the Guralo Lagoon starts approximately 700 yards north of the Information Centre. Viewing platforms along the mile-long path show Aboriginal art and allow for some bird watching. The Maritime Heritage Walk at Aslings Beach features images of maritime history inlaid in the path.Beaches - Aslings Beach just to the north of town is good for surfing and snorkeling. However, swimmers have to be aware of strong currents and there may be no life guard on duty.

Sydney (Day 13)

Sydney's laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world's top cities to visit and live in. The stunning harbour provides a dramatic backdrop for the city's famous icons - the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Sydneysiders are a friendly, energetic bunch with a positive approach to life. Sydney is Australia's only global city. It's a city with a genuine sense of style, a love of sport and celebrations including New Year's Eve, Mardi Gras, the Sydney Festival, and the Sydney International Art Series. You'll find plenty of things to see and do in Sydney. Sydney Harbour is a natural playground, and the views are world-class. There's a wide-ranging cultural life, a dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches - most notably Bondi and Manly - and five major national parks deliver unforgettable outdoor experiences.
Attractions & Activities
With its rich natural environment, Sydney is the ultimate outdoor playground. One of the best ways to enjoy Sydney's stunning natural attractions is on a coastal trail such as the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. This walk isn't just a great workout; you'll discover secret nooks for picnics, grab a coffee at a beachfront cafe along the way or sit down and take in the views. Leafy Centennial Parklands is an idyllic spot for cycling, walking, rollerblading and horseriding with plenty of room to move - 360 hectares, in fact. The Royal Botanic Gardens in the heart of the city is peaceful and beautiful; lie back under a shady tree and watch the world go by. Sydney Harbour is the gateway to a world of natural attractions. Navigate your way around the inner-harbour islands by ferry, or why not hire a kayak and paddle your way to a secluded harbour beach for a swim and a picnic? A short drive from the city reveals more beauty. The world's second-oldest national park, the Royal National Park, lies to the south of the city, while the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area is a scenic 90-minute drive west of the CBD. Both popular tourist attractions, these pristine natural environments come alive in spring and summer with wildflowers and wildlife, and are fantastic destinations for a range of outdoor activities ranging from bushwalks and hiking to camping, mountain biking, abseiling and canyoning. You'll discover wetlands, eucalypt woodlands, rugged bushland, lush rainforests and sandstone gorges; there are photo opportunities at every turn, and you'll come away feeling refreshed and invigorated. If all that activity has you working up a sweat, cool off with a swim in a crystal-clear stream or waterhole, or under a tumbling waterfall.
