Photo Gallery: A Two-Week Itinerary Through Breathtaking New Zealand

A wonderful selection of photos from a recent trip to New Zealand taken by our COO, Lorelei Calvert, and her husband. The two-week trip outlined on the map below included stays at Matakauri Lodge; Eichardt's Private Hotel; Otahuna Lodge; The Farm, Cape Kidnappers; Huka Lodge; Treetops Lodge & Estate; and The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs. We recommend visting New Zealand in December-April, although the country is beautiful at any time of the year.

The itinerary traversed both the North and South islands, allowing for a range of activities that included fly-fishing and a Milford Sound helicopter excursion with a glacier landing, both of which were highlights of the trip.
