Recommendations for a New Zealand Tour

For those with two weeks to spare to see New Zealand, we can recommend a great itinerary that allows you to take in the main highlights but also getting you off the beaten track. Among many unforgettable experiences are a helicopter flight over the Milford Sound with its isolated valleys of ancient forests, pristine rivers and ice-sculpted mountains, including a landing on a glacier.
