Travel from Mexico to New Zealand starts with three decisions: the air connection, current travel authorisation and a route that respects South Island distances. Wandernow's nine-day journey links Queenstown, Milford Sound, Wanaka, Aoraki/Mount Cook and Christchurch.

The South Island route

  • Queenstown as arrival point and adventure base.
  • Milford Sound by coach and fiord cruise.
  • Wanaka and its lake landscapes.
  • Aoraki/Mount Cook with the Kea Point viewpoint walk.
  • Lake Tekapo and a Christchurch finish.

The journey price

The trip costs $4,545.00 US dollars per person as a single payment or $4,940.00 US dollars deferred, with a $1,000.00 US dollars deposit and up to 10 deferred payments. Eight nights with breakfast, ground transfers, a Wandernow guide and listed experiences are included. International flights, unspecified meals, insurance and personal expenses are additional.

Flights from Mexico

A fixed airfare would be misleading: cost changes with origin, connections, baggage and booking date. Check transit requirements for the connecting country carefully, and buy only after your departure is confirmed.

Requirements to verify

Entry rules can change. Before paying for non-refundable services, check official Mexican guidance and New Zealand immigration for current electronic authorisation, passport validity and transit conditions.
