This itinerary is private to Matt & Penn — and the family we share it with. Pop in the four-digit code to come aboard.
a midwinter sojourn
Two islands, eight stops and a fortnight of long shadows — from Wellington's harbour to the Southern Alps, and home by way of the Shire.
A fortnight chasing winter light across Aotearoa — beginning in Wellington, threading down through Taranaki's lone volcano, the dark skies of Tekapo and the fiords of Milford, then north again to Hobbiton and the geothermal heart of Rotorua.
Air New Zealand throughout · two hire cars · one fly-cruise-fly over Fiordland. Both travellers are Australian citizens — no NZeTA required. Pack for snow on the high passes.
Eight stops, north to south and home again. Nights shown per stop.
Across the Tasman and down the length of Aotearoa — flights, drives and day trips, each drawn in its own hand.
Every leg confirmed. Boarding references and seats below — add passport details to the Air NZ app before Monday morning.
Fifteen days, from the eve of departure to the flight home.
