Overview

One of the great things about travelling to New Zealand is the huge range of stopover options available. Allowing you to visit exotic islands or some of the world’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, it makes a lot of sense to break your journey on a long-haul flight and often involves little or no flight supplement.

Whether it’s the idyllic beaches of the Pacific islands, the fast-pace of far eastern cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Bankgok and Kuala Lumpur, or the convenience of Dubai or the USA’s west coast, find out how you can make the most of your journey Down Under.

No two explorers are the same, so you have the freedom to craft your experience exactly how you want.
