Discover the sun-kissed beauty of New Zealand’s East Coast on this unforgettable summer escape.

From Gisborne’s golden beaches to the vibrant Bay of Plenty and the rolling vineyards of Hawke’s Bay, indulge in world-class wines, fresh coastal cuisine and breathtaking landscapes. Feel the pull of adventure as you set out on an evening glowworm kayak tour, paddling into calm waters towards the Mangapapa Glowworm Canyon. This narrow, high-walled canyon is a natural wonder filled with thousands of glowworms creating a dazzling display in the darkness. See New Zealand’s wildlife as nature intended, touring the oasis that is Moutohorā Island and dipping into the hot waters of Onepū Bay. For a completely unique wildlife experience, interact with magnificent stingrays and other reef dwellers wading in the shallows by Gisborne. Observing these gentle creatures, it will be hard to believe that they are feared by some. With a itinerary packed with unforgettable experiences, and a hire car to take you wherever your heart desires, a journey of relaxation, adventure and pure summer bliss awaits.
