I highly recommend the helicopter tour of the famous Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. Enjoy fantastic views as you soar above stunning glacial formations and snow-covered peaks. My favorite part is landing on a snowfield to savor the region’s icy beauty from up close.

“I have had experience planning group trips with dear friends and this was by far the most well planned trip I have had the pleasure of putting together. Kelly and Megan listened to all of our ideas and requests and followed through on every front. Knowing that our trip coordinator, Megan Cena was double checking all of our hotels and activities a couple of days before arrival made a huge difference. We were expected at all of the arranged accommodations, no surprises! The quality of the private small group tours we participated in was exceptional. The tour guides were top-notch. We traveled by bus, train,ferry, airplane and luxury van and every piece of our trip went beautifully. Also, one ferry was cancelled and Enchanting Travels was working right away to get us on the next ferry. Having contact with Megan throughout our trip was another plus- she would write every night to ask how that day had gone. A wonderful vacation!”

“I enjoyed how thorough the coordinators are in ensuring that you are able to experience as much as you would like within the time you have. My trip allowed me to explore 4 popular cities/towns in New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Queenstown) and see some of the best sights and there’s no way that I would’ve been able to do this on my own.”
