New Zealand : New Zealand's 'Small Five'

Departures: Year round Duration: 17 nights Price: from £2,898

They may not be as widely recognised as Africa's 'Big Five', but the kiwi, yellow-eyed penguin, tuatara, kea and Hector’s dolphin form New Zealand's own collection of 'must-see' wildlife that have a unique charm that cannot fail to appeal. This 18-day independent holiday is the ultimate self drive touring option for nature enthusiasts.
