At About New Zealand, we know that every traveler dreams of an effortless and inspiring journey. That’s why this incredible 8-day New Zealand adventure, known as the Big Three, was carefully crafted by, Melissa & Lizandra. Shortly after Lizandra returned from her own honeymoon in New Zealand, this itinerary came to life, inspired by her firsthand experiences of its breathtaking landscapes, bubbling geothermal wonders, and the warm Kiwi hospitality she encountered.

Melissa explains:
“This journey was inspired by those breathtaking New Zealand vistas, bubbling geothermal pools, and the warm embrace of Kiwi hospitality we loved on our own trips. We designed it so even the busiest travelers can soak up the best of New Zealand – iconic sights, local moments, and time to make it your own. If you only have 8 days, let’s make every one unforgettable.”
