New Zealand: February 4-14, 2027

 

Into the Wild New Zealand is a unique chance to take a moment for you. To adventure and discover like you’ve never done before. To see new zealand’s wonder, beauty, nature and culture. To, simply put, have a wild time with other wonderful women, experience a place that’s on everyone’s bucket list, and try new things.

Everybody loves New Zealand, but few of us have taken the leap to experience it! On this trip we are going to travel through both islands of New Zealand and hit the best of the best highlights. Experience the stunning beaches, epic views on moderate hikes, sail down New Zealand’s stunning fjords, and take in all of the natural wonders that this country has to offer! We offer many types of activities within this trip as we travel down the country.

At $3499, you really cannot do this kind of vacation at a better price. Leave it to Into the Wild Adventure to provide you with the BEST experience for the price- this trip includes all main meals, all transport during the trip (including a flight from north island to south island), and all activities.

Imagine having the time of your life, without having to do any planning, booking, driving on the other side of the road, or arranging? Leave it to us! Join Amelia on this incredible adventure of beauty and fun.

Experiences you don’t have to lift a finger for or plan? CHECK. Delicious food? CHECK. Experiences you’ve never tried before? CHECK. Hiking/exploring/boating? CHECK.

Cost for this retreat is $3499 per person for 10 nights. All lodging, meals (minus alcohol), and transportation during the trip is included (except snacks, souvenirs, alcohol and your trip to and from the airport to our Auckland hotel), and are rooms are shared occupancy, no exceptions. You just need to get yourselves to Auckland, New Zealand and back home from Queenstown, NZ. Note, the cheapest way to do this is buy an inexpensive flight from Queenstown to Auckland at the end of the trip, making your flights from home Round Trip.

If you try this exact trip by yourself without Into the Wild as your guide, you’ll have a blast BUT you’ll end up paying a lot more and doing so much work and arranging!

Come gain some new friends and have incredible experiences! Group travel is FUN.

This trip is for the woman interested in maximum fun in a beautiful country. We will combine adventure with some peaceful relaxation and sightseeing and send you home feeling amazing. We are firm believers that fun, adventure, and feeling like a kid again while you explore are a key part of maintaining a happy life. Be prepared to rediscover yourself!

Women who come to this retreat should fall somewhat into these guidelines:

You enjoy nature and being out in it.

You want to try new things.

You don’t mind road trips in a van. If you get car sick, you’re ready with your motion sickness meds.

You look forward to having an epic time without having to do the work of planning.

You are ready to unplug and have amazing experiences.

You are ready to gain friends of a similar outdoor and travel loving mindset.

 

Time is rare for women to get out and explore and adventure without having to worry about any details. We have a whole itinerary of awesome things to do- experiences you’ll never forget!

Who:

Women! We welcome all women.

Why:

When is the last time you enjoyed 10 days without work or familial responsibilities? To have adventures you deserve, to unwind, and to act like a child again?

When:

February 4-14th, 2027. You DO NOT want to miss this. You will fly in and out of Auckland, NZ, arriving after 2pm on February 4th, and leave from Queenstown, NZ on February 14th anytime, but the retreat ends after breakfast which can be at whatever time you choose. Just ask Wendy at wendy@itwadventure.com if you have any questions about flights.

What:

A retreat combined with absolute beauty and adventure. This trip’s purpose is to bring fun into your life again and remember who you are and discover who you’ve become.

We will explore together. Relax on stunning beaches, tree swing, do moderate walks and hikes, kayak, boat, etc. We will enjoy learning about the Maori culture. Being a common “Bucket List” location, we know New Zealand cannot disppoint- We’ve done two ITW trips there already and perfected this itinerary!

February 4: Arrive in Auckland and find your own transport to our hotel. You can arrive anytime after 2pm, or if you arrive before you can drop your luggage and go explore. If you come in late, you’ll miss the opening dinner but that’s ok- there will be many more dinners! Our first activity this day is a meet and greet in the hotel lobby at 6pm and dinner after that.

February 5: We will transfer to one of my absolute favorite little towns on this earth: Hahei. Staying in Hahei for two nights, we will explore the Coromandel Peninsula and the gorgeous sights it has to offer. This will include Cathedral Beach, Hot Water Beach, a small hike, and enjoying the wonders that the beaches near Hahei offer.

February 6: Explore more of Hahei, including a kayak trip around Cathedral Beach- truly stunning at sunrise. We will depart in the afternoon for our new lodgings.

February 7: Lord of the Rings fans will love checking off Hobbiton on their Bucket list, and for those who aren’t fans- this Hobbit Movie Scene tour will still be a huge hit. It is gorgeous and fun! Afterwards, we will head off to do some nature walks and enjoy this truly gorgeous part of the North Island.

February 8: We will fly as a group to the South Island and travel to Queenstown. Your flight is included in your ticket to this Into the Wild. After arriving in Queenstown, we will have free time to explore the adorable little city and dine out together.

February 9: Outdoor adventures in and around Queenstown including riding horses in mind-blowing scenery used for Lord of the Rings and other movies- truly gorgeous views. If there’s time after, we will do a 2 hour long moderate hike on the way back to Queenstown. Dinner and free time after.

February 10: Begin our Milford Sound (New Zealand’s fjord area) experience. Mind-Blowing sights. I’d like most of this to be a surprise, but please be prepared for walking a track (NZ’s way of saying hike) for several hours at least twice within the next 3 days. These tracks are rated moderate and, for reference, if you could walk around Disneyland for a day, you can do these tracks.

February 11: Milford Sound Day 2. Glow Worm Cave in Te Anau!

February 12: Leave the Milford Sound checking out the scenic stops along this road trip out, and return to Queenstown. Today is mostly a road trip day with epic scenery, including some wild birds who may try to infiltrate our car, huge and beautiful waterfalls, and a mountain pass. When we get back to Queenstown, we will have a group meal together and some time to enjoy the town scene which can be very fun and lively.

February 13: We will start with a hike of 2-3 hours from town. The hike is moderate and is called Queenstown Time Hill walk. Following, we will head back to town for lunch before changing into swimsuits before swimming in Lake Wakatipu! We can enjoy as much time as we want there, and then we are purposefully leaving this last half day blank for an evaluation of how we feel at the end of this trip and what’s left to do! Final dinner.

February 14: Wake up and depart New Zealand! To make the best of your funds- buy RT tickets from your home to Auckland and back, and then buy a cheap ticket for this morning from Queenstown to NZ. Into the Wild will be in charge of transportation back to the Queenstown airport.
