Real Rugby Tours - Destination:New Zealand

New Zealand

NZ is a prime destination for any team wishing to experience excitement and a wide range of activities. In a country that lives for rugby, you are going to be able to find all types of opposition guaranteeing a test for your team. If you are looking for activities that will drive up you adrenaline levels, NZ is the place for you to visit. Bungee jumping and sky diving are only a couple of the available activities.

Real Rugby Tours - Haka

Having a Hakka performed for you before every match is an extraordinary experience and it will give you the chance to feel what the professionals go through before each game.

Our tours offer you the chance to visit both islands of NZ allowing you to experience some of the most beautiful and famous sceneries of the land.

 

North Island
The nation’s capital, Wellington is a must see destination for any tour. The city prides itself as being the centre of culture.

The Bay of Islands provides tourist with the opportunity to surround themselves with amazing scenery as well as offering the chance to witness wildlife such as whales, seals and dolphins in their natural habitat.

Rotorua

Rotorua, situated in the Bay of Plenty, draws a large number of tourists because of the thermal activity in this area consisting of geysers, hot springs and thermal pools.

Here you will also have the chance to attend a traditional Maori welcome ceremony and taste a Hangi- a way of cooking which involves burying the food for three hours!

South Island
Christchurch is the main city in the South Island. The “Garden City” is known for its beautiful parks and waterways but is also the home of the cricket museum, and the Jade Stadium, the major sporting venue of the South Island.

You will also find Mt. Cook and Milford Sound, stunning national parks which will allow you to visit the glaziers and natural beauty that New Zealand is renowned for.

Tips
The kiwis play their rugby during our summer months (their winter) which means that it is a great destination to travel to for a pre season tour. It can be cold travelling during this period.

So, if being in a hot climate is a must for you, we recommend that your tour takes place during our winter months, or think about finishing the tour with a visit to the Pacific Islands.
