    Highlights of New Zealand’s North and South Islands: A cultural and hiking adventure . November 30 to December 14, 2022 Trip# 2258 Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand. Photo by Steve Cohen Come join us in experiencing the intriguing history, culture, and breathtaking scenery on both the North and South Islands in the Land of the Long White Cloud or Aotearoa, the Māori name for New Zealand. Our itinerary, which is during summertime in the southern hemisphere, takes in the splendid scenic and cultural highlights of Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown and Dunedin. We have arranged comfortable, well-located accommodations for our group in each of these destinations. The trip’s highlight is the trek along the Milford Track, which Rudyard Kipling described as “the finest walk in the world.” We'll experience its glaciated mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and lush forests. We will be accompanied by expert ‘kiwi’ guides who, besides leading the trek, will give us exceptional insight into New Zealand’s unique culture, history, geology, flora and fauna. We will be staying in well-appointed lodges and eat appetizing meals. 1 In addition to the Milford Track, you will do local hikes, learn about Māori culture, visit volcanic hot springs, see exotic birds, kayak to see glow worms, ride a boat in the Milford Sound fiord, watch albatross and yellow-eyed penguins, and much, much more. By trip’s end you will have experienced both the North Island and South Island and have many exciting stories from New Zealand. DEADLINE FOR SIGNUP is November 1, 2021. Lodge accommodations on the Milford Track are in extremely high demand; for a group our size they need to be made one year in advance of trip date.
