New Zealand is a land of opportunity. A place for thrill seekers as much as nature lovers, this South Pacific country is a harmony of striking landscapes, culture-rich cities, and endless adventure. When days here are spent kayaking on translucent water and summiting mountain peaks, it’s no surprise that this country ignites our childlike wonder. A luxury holiday unlike any other, our New Zealand itineraries are not to be missed.
For a full dose of Maori culture, Rotorua is the place to be. It’s a place admired for its natural hot springs, explosive geysers, epic biking trails, and abundant trout fishing, thanks to the 18 lakes that surround the city. Holidays in this part of New Zealand will include a traditional hangi feast, craft markets, and plenty of outdoor experiences. For a bit more adventure, ziplining and mountain biking are just two affairs for the more active.
An icon of the South Island, Milford Sound was created by glaciers during the ice ages, resulting in a dramatic and breathtaking landscape that fuses stark cliffs, dark waters, waterfalls, and wildlife. For those with an appreciation for raw beauty, a holiday in Milford Sound incorporates boat and helicopter rides, kayaking trips and luxury hotels.
Nowhere on earth quite comes close to New Zealand’s stunning landscapes, making it a nature lover’s paradise. Our New Zealand holidays let you explore it all: the volcanic sprawl of Tongariro National Park, Abel Tasman National Park’s turquoise waters, and Waiheke Island’s pristine beaches. Add in world-renowned vineyards and luxury accommodations, and you’ll find endless joy in this breathtaking land.
Hawke's Bay
Experience the coastlines, beaches and sprawling vineyards of Hawkes Bay.
The panoramic ocean vistas at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers set the scene for your time in Hawke’s Bay. Set out on a cycling or vintage car journey around the boutique wineries and enjoy a private tasting with a passionate winemaker. Or, head out to the Bay of Islands with a private Māori guide as they share their local knowledge of the Waitangi Treaty Grounds – one of New Zealand’s most sacred sites.
Taupo
Of the 4,000 lakes in New Zealand, this is one of our favourites.
Up in the North Island, Lake Taupo is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand. Discover the wide outdoors with trout fishing and bicycle trails to humbling Huka Falls, or else discover hot springs and tackle the Tongariro Crossing. This unique 19km trek takes you along the changing volcanic landscapes, through alpine deserts, from the Red Crater to Emerald Lakes – and it’s well worth the challenge.
Queenstown
Take to the skies in Queenstown.
For those travellers who flock to this thrilling South Island town, Queenstown is all about the fearless bucket list moments. If you’re craving the extreme, skydiving isn’t your only option; picture bungy jumping, white-water rafting, canyon swinging, and more. Titled the adventure capital of the world, this magnetic city is more than likely to get your heart racing. Now, how about some alpine heli-skiing on the Southern Alps?
Huka Lodge, Taupo
Rosewood Cape Kidnappers, Hawke's Bay
Eichardt's Private Hotel, Queenstown
December to February — summer in the Southern Hemisphere — offers the best conditions for hiking, wine tasting, and coastal exploration, though the top lodges fill up fast. March to May brings fall colours, harvest season, and noticeably fewer crowds. June to September is the season for skiing in Queenstown and the Southern Alps.
It’s a hard question to answer — every region makes a strong case. Fiordland delivers dramatic fjords and waterfalls on a scale that’s difficult to prepare for. Queenstown pairs alpine scenery with world-class adventure. The Bay of Islands offers subtropical coastline and rich Māori heritage. Hawke’s Bay is New Zealand’s wine country at its most elegant. The best trips connect several of these regions into one seamless journey.
Every itinerary includes hand-picked luxury lodges, private transfers or premium vehicles, tailor-made experiences matched to your interests, and 24/7 local support. International flights and travel insurance aren’t included but can be arranged if you’d prefer everything in one place.
Every New Zealand trip starts with a conversation about how you want to feel, then becomes a tailor-made itinerary built around your interests, travel style, and the people you’re travelling with. Nothing is templated — we refine together until it’s right.
New Zealand is one of the strongest family destinations in the world — safe, English-speaking, and full of outdoor adventures, wildlife encounters, and Māori cultural experiences that resonate with all ages. Itineraries balance adventure with genuine downtime, with lodges that offer proper family facilities and guides who know how to engage younger travellers.
The cost of a luxury New Zealand holiday with Black Tomato ranges in cost based on your travel preferences since all trips are customised. Pricing varies based on location(s), time of year, hotels, transfers, experiences and more. For an accurate quote built around your specific travel dates and preferences, submit an enquiry and we’ll connect you with one of our New Zealand Travel experts.
