With its cinematic scenery and wide open spaces, perfectly suited for a road trip, New Zealand is a tantalising trip for two. Escape the crowds (New Zealand is one of the world’s least crowded countries) and venture into the wilderness with your special someone. A playground for daring duo’s, the country boasts plenty of outdoor activities such as kayaking, rafting and sailing, as well as hundreds of hiking routes through the many sensational national parks. For a change of scenery, head to Auckland, on the North Island, for urban beauty and a champagne toast to your relationship on the top floor of the iconic Skytower. Peruse the cute cafes and indulge in plenty of good food and wine with your other half. Afterwards, burn off the calories with a trip to Queenstown - the self-styled ‘adventure capital of the world’ - and take your pick from a long list of activities on offer here. There’s nothing like an adventure to bring a couple even closer, and you’ll get plenty of that on your New Zealand couples holidays.

"Everything from booking through to the trip itself went smoothly and we had a five-star experience overall. The Concierge service was excellent in Australia and, when there was a problem with the Yarra Valley tour, Rachel handled it quickly and efficiently. There were so many memorable moments, but the flight in the Bay of Islands and kayaking on Lake Taupo were both particular highlights of the trip."

"First of all the trip was amazing - it was a great way to see both islands, and an amazing experience. The South Island, Mt. Cook region and Milford Sound were particularly memorable moments. It was a very beautiful trip - for sure we will come back and travel with you again. "
