DAY 4: 24 NOV SUNDAY

We’ll drive towards the east now to discover a city that’s less visited by the typical tourists, New Plymouth.

O/N NEW PLYMOUTH

Today we make our way to trek up to a beautiful tarn overlooking the Taranaki mountain, for a glimpse of the perfect reflection of this mountain. This free standing volcano that looks like a miniature Mount Fuji of Japan is one of the most impressive natural landscapes of New Zealand.

We’ll spend the morning by the lakeside before heading towards Cromwell, and then to Queenstown where all the excitement is.
