DAY 1 - Queenstown to Wanaka
Queenstown
Welcome New Year's revellers to the adventure capital of the world, and boy are you in a for a treat. The next few days are all about keeping your dancing feet happy and your adrenaline levels fully topped up. You ready? Good, because tonight you'll be meeting up with your Trip Manager and fellow NYE party heads!
Wanaka
The next two days are full of incredible line-ups, spectacular stage designs and all the festival LOLs. But don't wait 'til the festival starts to feel like a celeb, because your VIP treatment begins tonight! We hope you've worked up an appetite with all that travelling today, because this evening you'll feast out on a kiwi BBQ at the iconic Cardrona Hotel and get treated to a special showcase performance from one of the festival artists. You can now pick up your jaw from the floor...
DAY 2 - Wanaka
Wanaka
Wake up and get stuck into your included breakfast. Then head out and watch some of best bands & DJ's at new Zealand's finest music festival. Party the night away in spectacular fashion, but remember to save a little energy for the big night ahead tomorrow.
DAY 3 - Wanaka
Wanaka
Oh hello the best day/night of the year. Today you'll be kept busy running between stages, munching down tasty festival food and generally rolling around loving life. And then tonight, the main event - as the clock strikes 12, watch the sky come alive with fireworks, and feel pretty chuffed that you're sharing this moment with all new pals.
DAY 4 - Wanaka to Queenstown
Wanaka
Festival fun might have come to an end, but your NZ adventure certainly hasn't.
Queenstown
We'll make our way back to the adventure capital of the world - Queenstown - and what better day than New Year's Day to start ticking off some serious bucket list items. Skydive? Bungy jump? Zip-lining? There ain't nothing you can't do in Queenstown, and our ME Time Optionals will have you screaming with excitement every second of the day. Best make your way to the Ice Bar tonight to chill out...
DAYS 5-6 - Queenstown
Queenstown
Two free days to do as you please, and the opportunities are endless. Skydiving, horse riding, bungy, vineyards...just make sure you see out your last days with a bang. Feel free to take time out from all the high energy activities and replace some of those calories you burned with a big breakfast at Lucy's, or beers if you're game. Then we'll finish things in style, with an included final night dinner, where we can swap stories of our adventures and start planning the next one. We'll be wining dining at one of Queenstown's best spots – mind-boggling views on the house.
DAY 7 - Queenstown
Queenstown
Our trip ends after breakfast - sob. Who's up for the same time next year? We're game if you are.
