Two Weeks Down Under

We participated in the 3 week New Zealand trip in 2014 and it was fabulous. We were on both islands and the only places we didn't visit were the NE corner of the North Island and the NW corner of the South Island. The experiences we had were varied and always interesting. We had a "minder" for the entire trip who was a wealth of information, and an additional expert on each of the islands and in Christchurch. Take a look at what is skipped when one takes a 2 week trip vs. the 3 week trip. We figured that we probably wouldn't return because of the expense, so we wanted to learn and see as much as possible. It was one of my favorite trips ever.

I concur. I did the 3 week trip in 2015 and it too is one of my favorite. Also hope to go again sometime.
