Wool and Wonders of New Zealnad

Sheep, Kiwi, and Spectacular scenery  - Oh, my! 

Explore all things woolly and wonderful in Aotearoa! Aotearoa being the Māori name for the two islands that make up New Zealand. We begin our tour discovering Auckland's City of Sails on the North Island and then fly to Wellington. With a little bit of “patupaiarehe” luck (magic folk of Maori lore), we may even get to see the kiwi - that rarest of birds. We will take a scenic ferry across the Cook Straight and enjoy some local wine as we make our way down to Queenstown. But first we have two days at an 11,000 head Merino sheep station in the Kaikoura Mountain Range of the Southern Island. We will visit local yarn shops, explore the scenic landscape, participate in a workshop or two and have High Tea surrounded by beautiful gardens in Christchurch. As if that wasn't enough to ensure a fabulous trip, we will go on to visit a Giant’s House, spend an evening in a “Scottish” castle, and may encounter an albatross or two - a bird that has an incredible wingspan of nearly 10 feet. 


For those who want to add on a couple of additional amazing experiences you can spend a day at Hobbiton before the tour or do a spectacular scenic cruise in Milford after the tour ends.
