Feel free to experience the longest day in New Zealand on the gorgeous beaches, but for half the price, November weather is great! The pricy parts of the trip are the activities/excursions.

New Zealand is epic, it’s beautiful, it’s exciting… and it’s a heck of a trip to plan on your own. You’re probably coming ...

And enjoy some New Zealand wine with a view. The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, located in the heart of Hawke's Bay Wine Country, is the second stop on the trip. Here's what the lodge looks like.
