Customized Tours
Would you prefer to travel independently? Perhaps on
your own, as a couple or foursome etc. With our knowledge
and expertise we would be pleased to put together what
you want for your golfing "vacation of a lifetime".
We realize that not everybody wishes to travel in a
group (although our group tours are fantastic). Our
staff enjoy planning trips to include everything you
want - accommodation, air travel, golf, sightseeing,
transport etc. - all to your financial requirements.
From top to bottom, New Zealand is a wonderful
place to take a vacation; have a look at some of the
highlights you might take in on a self-drive tour!
BAY OF ISLANDS
The natural beauty of the Bay of Islands has
to be seen to be believed. It's an aquatic playground
lavishly furnished with 144 islands and a myriad of
secluded beaches.
AUCKLAND
With a population of over one million, greater Auckland
is New Zealand's largest urban area and center of commerce
and industry, but within 45 minutes of the city you
can experience uncrowded beaches, rural countryside
and forests.
ROTORUA / BAY OF PLENTY
Encompassing the three cities of Rotorua, Tauranga and
Mount Maunganui the area name of Bay of Plenty says
it all. From the bubbling thermal mud pools and the
famous Pohutu Geyser of Rotorua to some of the best
beaches in New Zealand at Mount Maunganui, this area
is one of the most popular in New Zealand.
TAUPO
A small town situated at the the northern end of Lake
Taupo, at 240 square miles, the largest lake in New
Zealand and the source for many hydro-electric power
stations along the Waikato River. The snow capped Mount
Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe provide a spectacular backdrop
for the beautiful lake, world renowned for its trout
fishing.
HAWKES BAY
Situated on the east coast of the North Island, the
sparkling Pacific Ocean forms a stunning backdrop to
internationally renowned vineyards that produce award-winning
wines. You can absorb the splendor of art deco and spanish
mission buildings that make the region one of the most
unique architectural centers in the world.
WELLINGTON
New Zealand's capital, it is a vibrant cafe and restaurant
filled city of excitement. Built on hills surrounding
the magnificent natural deep water harbor, its cosmopolitan
nature is reflected in the number of ethnic restaurants
& cafes.
Not only is Wellington the political capital but it
is also the capital of nationhood with parliament buildings,
Te Papa - the National Museum, birthplace of authoress
Katherine Mansfield, as well as home to the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra, Royal New Zealand Ballet and the
New Zealand Opera.
NELSON / BLENHEIM
This area of New Zealand has the highest hours of sunshine
each year, and its long hot summers with frosty clear
winters make it ideal for grape growing. It is now New
Zealand's, and one of the world's, major grape growing
regions. Leading French wine producers are investing
in the area's vineyards.
CHRISTCHURCH
Designed in Britain in the mid 1800's as a model Anglican
settlement, it is laid out in a grid pattern centered
on the Cathedral. Often said to be "the most English
city outside England", Christchurch is the South
Island's largest city. It is renowned for its elegant
greystone 19th century buildings but also has examples
of almost every kind of 20th century architecture.
QUEENSTOWN
One of Natures scenic gems. Nestled on the edge of the
deep glacial lake Wakatipu and at the base of majestic
mountains aptly known as the "Remarkables",
Queenstown is a recreational playground whether you
are after adventure or relaxation. Known as the adventure
capital of the world some of the activities available
are golf, fishing, bungy jumping, jet boat riding, white
water rafting, flightseeing, hiking and the Milford
Sound flight and cruise.
DUNEDIN
Dunedin, the old Gaelic name for Edinburgh, was largely
settled by the Scots. It is a gracious city of grand
19th century buildings and beautiful gardens. Dunedin's
grand homes and gardens reflect its early prosperity
and solid Victorian respectability, a number of these
are open to the public.
The Otago Peninsula has an abundance of wildlife seldom
seen so close to a city. Fur seals, the rare yellow
eyed penguin, colonies of cormorants and the mighty
albatross inhabit the peninsula. The albatross nests
here and can be seen close up on guided tours. |
