Drive the Royal Tour, the Classic NZ Wine Trail, or take Billy Connolly's New Zealand wide tour.
In 2002, Prime Minister Heken Clark spent five days show-casing New Zealand for Peter Greenberg, Chief Correspondent for the Travel Channel. The Royal Tour follows in their footsteps.
If you have taste for fine wine, six days following the Classic NZ Wine Trail might be just for you. The northen end of the wine trail begins in the Art Deco city of Napier in the Hawke's Bay. The trail heads south through the lush vineyards of the Wairarapa to Wellington City. Cross the Cook Strait to the beautiful, sunny Marlborough. The Marlborough region is the largest grape growing and wine making region in New Zealand.
During his recent tour of New Zealand, Billy Connolly traversed 8,500 kilometers. Follow in the all encompassing footsteps of Billy Connolly's grand tour of New Zealand, spanning from Kaitaia in the far north to Stewart Island—New Zealand's southern most island.
