New Zealand Vacation Packages
Explore New Zealand
Two main landmasses — the North Island and South Island — make up New Zealand’s diverse landscape. From North Island’s multicultural city, Auckland, Wellington’s vibrant community and Rotorua’s geothermal wonderland to South Island’s Marlborough region wineries and Queenstown’s thriving nightlife, New Zealand is bursting with fun, leisure and adventure.
Our elevated vacation experiences include round-trip airfare aboard Delta (seasonal) or a Partner Airline from Los Angeles to Auckland International Airport (AKL) with connecting flights in Sydney, Australia (SYD). Delta will begin offering new daily nonstop service from Los Angeles (LAX) to Auckland International Airport (AKL) from oktober 28, 2023 - maart 31, 2024, seven times a week.†
Once you arrive in Auckland, you can take a connecting domestic flight with a local air carrier to Christchurch or Queenstown. For assistance with booking flights between Auckland (AKL) or Sydney (SYD) and Christchurch (CHC) or Queenstown (ZQN), please get in touch with our vacation experts at 1-800-800-1504.
If you rent a car at the Auckland airport upon arrival, you can take a scenic drive down through the North Island to the town of Wellington, where you can catch a Cook Strait vehicle ferry to the South Island and continue your adventures there at your own pace. Or if you fly into Christchurch or Queenstown, you can rent a car to explore the South Island.
To ensure you have the best vacation possible, we’ve added new four- and five-star hotels and resorts throughout New Zealand, and exciting activities are coming soon. For assistance with booking flights between Auckland (AKL) or Sydney (SYD) and Christchurch (CHC) or Queenstown (ZQN), please get in touch with our vacation experts at 1-800-800-1504.
