Queenstown, Wanaka & Fiordland Holidays


new zealand & the pacific
New Zealand holidays in Queenstown, Wanaka and Fiordland offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Whilst all of these regions have beautiful lakes and towering mountains in common, each differ in character and geography: be mesmerised by the iconic views from the top of Queenstown's gondola and the famous Wanaka tree, and cruise through glacial-carved valleys of Milford and Doubtful Sounds in Fiordland National Park.

Trailfinders offers a range of Queenstown holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore New Zealand on a fly drive holiday, a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine New Zealand with Australia or the Pacific – they are the perfect people to ask.
