New Zealand Luxury Travel Review: Christchurch, Milford Sound, Kaikoura, Tongariro, Abel Tasman, Trans Alpine Train, Trekking

Some of our fondest memories were the obvious ones--Milford Sound, swimming with the dolphins in Kaikoura, trekking in Tongariro, the Trans Alpine Train, and the Weta tour. There were surprises, too, which were more often than not suggestions from our travel agent, Geoff. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner aboard a tram in Christchurch, took a cruise along the coast in Abel Tasman, visited several small towns that we might otherwise have overlooked, and saw sights not commonly mentioned in the travel books. Our custom itinerary was exactly what we were looking for.
