NORTH ISLAND NEW ZEALAND

15 OCT - 29 OCT 2018 15 Days $5,195

Bhutan is purportedly the happiest place on earth to live. Nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas between India and China, the absence of neon lights, billboards, takeaway food chains and traffic lights is a breath of fresh air. The landscape is breathtaking and the local people are genuine, respectful and happy; living a simple life according to their strong Buddhist beliefs and traditions. This is a most inspiring journey to one of the world’s most unique, least visited and utterly delightful destinations.

This is the best North Island New Zealand itinerary possible

for a variety of scenery, experiences, history and leisure

time. From the sub- tropical forests and emerald waters of

the Bay of Islands to the snow dusted peaks and windswept

coasts of the south you explore museums, Maori collec-

tions, geysers, gardens, vibrant cities and picturesque vil-

lages. Travel by private coach, take train rides and boat

rides and enjoy the luxury of several nights at each stop.
