以下是英文的行程，可以先看一下每天行程的內容，在行程中，聽司機導遊講解的時候，聽力會好很多，也容易明白。

This circuit can start anywhere.

第01天：AUCKLAND-THAMES-ROTORUA
MOUNT EDEN, HOBBITS, MAORI CULTURE & HOT POOLS For many Magic Travellers this is the start of your New Zealand adventure and what a great day we have in store for you. First up we take you to Mt Eden for the best view of Auckland, locally known as the City of Sails. After taking in this stunning panorama, we travel southeast through the Hauraki Plains across the quaint single lane Kopu bridge to Thames. Thames is the starting point for any passengers heading off to one of New Zealand's best regional destinations, the Coromandel Peninsula. From Thames we continue onto Paeroa, where can you grab a bottle of New Zealand’s most famous fizzy drink Lemon and Paeroa (also known as L&P) and then pose for a group photo with the World Famous (in NZ) L&P bottle. At 7 metres high, the bottle is a permanent reminder of the therapeutic Paeroa Springs water discovered before 1900, which, with the addition of a squeeze of lemon, became known as New Zealand’s very own soft drink.
After we leave Paeroa, we head into the spa town of Te Aroha, meaning ‘place of love’. Jump off and spend the night here if you want to climb Mount Te Aroha and then relax in hot soda springs to ease away any aches and pains.
The next stop is lunch at the “Shires Rest” gateway to the Hobbiton Movie Set, immersed in stunning New Zealand farmland and overlooking the Kaimai Ranges. This is your chance to have lunch and relax, feed the friendly sheep, watch sheep shearing and even try Lord of the Rings beer. Hop off the bus and do a tour of The Lord of the Rings Movie Set. With the set being rebuilt for the new film, now is the time to visit. We arrive into Rotorua by early afternoon where Maori culture and thermal activity combine to make a very unique destination. Upon arrival, take a deep breath and the smell of Rotorua will fill your nostrils…. yes the smell of rotten eggs from the dense sulphur deposits all over the city. Look out for steam rising from the ground created by these sulphur deposits on a scenic tour of the city via Government Gardens and Lake Taupo. This will be followed by experiencing a heartfelt cultural welcome to the area at the Realm of Tane, taking you on a short journey through Maori culture, mythology and stories. This evening, make sure you take the opportunity to try a superb Tamaki Maori Hangi and Concert – an experience that shouldn’t be missed! We recommend you spend more than one night in Rotorua as there is so much to do in this exceptional place such as volunteering in the Magic Forest, spot glowworms while night kayaking down the banks of the Wairoa River and relaxing in hot pools. Approximate arrival into Rotorua is 3.30pm.
Hop off the bus today and stay at: Thames or Te Aroha

第02天：ROTORUA - TAUPO
GEOTHERMAL MUD, HUKA FALLS, SKYDIVING Today we stock up on lunch and supplies before heading south to Taupo through bubbling geothermal land. You will get a chance to wander around the spectacular Wai-O-Tapu geothermal wonderland, famous for vivid mud pools and the Lady Knox Geyser. The geyser erupts each day at 10.15am, shooting jets of water reaching up to 20 meters and lasting for over an hour. The next incredible stop is the mighty Huka Falls, throwing over 200,000 litres of water a second into the river below. Those in for an adrenaline rush will have the chance to try out the jet boat on the Waikato River up to the base of the Huka Falls or bungy jump above it. For those wanting to experience one of the best thrills in NZ, Taupo is one of the most amazing places to skydive in NZ. From 15,000 feet you can see both coasts of NZ. If you are not partaking in these adrenaline activities we continue onto Taupo, situated on the edge of a lake bigger than Singapore. In true Kiwi fashion all this water means there are heaps of things to do. Make sure you spend two nights here if you can to enjoy all the activities available. The nightlife in Taupo is outstanding, with many decent bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from. Approximate arrival time in Taupo is 1.30pm.

第03天：TAUPO - WAITOMO - NATIONAL PARK
GLOWWORMS, TONGARIRO ALPINE CROSSING, MOUNTAIN WATERFALL Today we head northwest to Waitomo to visit the famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves, which are over 30 million years old. Here you can view the amazing caverns and glowworms, or be daring and have a go at one of the many activities Magic has on offer such as black water rafting, or abseiling into the caves (this is something you certainly won't have the chance to do too often!). For those not partaking in the caving experiences, you can enjoy a free bush walk through small caves, limestone outcrops and a forest-covered gorge alongside the Waitomo Stream. After the walk you visit The Shearing Shed, where you can watch unique Angora rabbit shearing. By early afternoon we depart Waitomo and head towards Te Kuiti, the sheep shearing capital of the world, before heading through the King Country farmland onto Taumarunui where you can pick up supplies from the supermarket for the evenings meal. Before you get to your final destination we stop in Whakapapa Village in the Tongariro National Park. You have time here to enjoy a nature walk to mountain falls, explore the Whakapapa Visitor Centre which is full of information on the Tongariro National Park, the ski fields and hiking tracks, Maori stories and the volcanic history of the area. Also admire the elegant Tongariro Chateau set in spectacular grounds with the stunning backdrop of Mt Ruapehu. In winter you’ll get a chance to play in the snow, make a snowman or have a snow fight with your travelling friends. Approximate arrival time in National Park is 5.00pm.

National Park is the departure point to walk the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, which is popularly known as New Zealand's best one day trek. You will need to spend at least two nights in National Park to undertake the walk that takes you into the heart of volcano country and The Lord of the Rings Mt Doom. National Park is also the departure point to canoe the Whanganui River which runs through the Whanganui National Park, a dense native rainforest with a wide rage of native birds including the Brown Kiwi.
Hop off the bus today and stay at: Waitomo

第04天：NATIONAL PARK - WELLINGTON
THE CAPITAL CITY, TE PAPA, GREAT CAFES Today we travel south around the Tongariro National Park with stunning views of Mt Ruapehu. We head through the alpine town of Ohakune (bizarrely known as the capital of the carrot) and onto Waiouru, the New Zealand Army’s training base. Later in the day we pass through the imaginatively named town of Bulls an unforget-a-Bull town like no udder. Make sure you pay attention and try and spot a few of the unique shop names like the cafe Delect-a-Bull. Travelling down the Kapiti Coast, look to the right of the bus and see Kapiti Island a bird and marine reserve. The road follows the Tararua Ranges which form a dramatic backdrop along the length of the coastline. We arrive into Wellington, New Zealand's capital city in the afternoon. The first stop is to view Parliament Buildings and 'The Beehive' before heading to the summit of Mt Victoria for some fantastic views across the city and Cook Strait. There's plenty to keep you busy here including lively cafes and don't miss a visit to Te Papa, our national museum. Approximate arrival time in Wellington is 3.00pm.

第05天：WELLINGTON - PICTON - NELSON
GOLDEN BEACHES, NATIONAL PARKS, WEARABLE ARTS
This morning make your own way to the ferry terminal where you can catch the ferry across the Cook Strait to the South Island (N.B. price of ferry not included in some passes). Alternatively you can undertake this journey by air (your driver will help you book this) - whichever way, it is a fantastic journey with more fantastic uniquely New Zealand scenery. The Magic coach will meet you on the other side and you will quickly begin the next part of the journey through the beautiful countryside and famous wine regions toward Nelson, arriving late afternoon. Nelson ‘the sunshine capital of NZ’ is an arty city, has a relaxed atmosphere and is the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. If you have time in your itinerary, NZ’s smallest National Park is a beautiful region with golden beaches, sparkling water and plenty of activities on offer.
Approximate arrival time in Nelson is 3.30pm.

第06天：NELSON-GREYMOUTH
BREWERY TOURS, WHITEBAIT FRITTERS, WEST COAST HOSPITALITY
After leaving Nelson, we journey through the Hope Saddle and cross the picturesque Buller Gorge to New Zealand’s ‘Wild West Coast’ one of the more remote, rugged and most sparsely populated areas of the country. Today you will become aware of the amazing scenery and warm welcome that the West Coast is famous for. First stop on the coast is Cape Foulwind, named so by Captain Cook after his ship was blown off course. The cape is home to a fur seal breeding colony which you will have the chance to view. After driving through one of the many National Parks in the region – the Paparoa National Park, we take a stop to visit the famous Punakaiki Pancake Rocks which are a pretty amazing sight, especially when the sea is in full swing, before we head onto our overnight stop. Tonight in Greymouth we recommend you take part in a tour of the (very kiwi) Monteiths Brewery including an all you can eat BBQ. It’s a great chance to meet some of the interesting locals.
Approximate arrival time in Greymouth is 5.00pm.

第07天：GREYMOUTH-FRANZ JOSEF
GLACIER HIKING, MIRROR LAKES, UNTOUCHED WILDERNESS
This morning we travel further down the West Coast before stopping in the township of Hokitika, famous for its local cuisine and Pounamu (Greenstone). The traces of gold rush that brought thousands to the area in the mid 1800s are still evident in the historic town of Ross, where we take time to do a spot of gold panning later in the morning. Heading further south we enter Westland National Park, an area containing numerous scenic lakes, dense forests, many of the Southern Alps highest peaks and two amazingly accessible glaciers. Time for more adventure! We arrive into the alpine village of Franz Josef in time for those who want to partake in a half day glacier hike. If you wish to aim higher, take a heli-hike that will deliver you to the top of the glacier within the midst of the Southern Alps. If you want a bit more of a challenge, allow an extra day and go for the full day glacier hike. There are not too many opportunities in the world to do something like this. If glaciers aren’t your thing, another option here is to go kayaking on the scenic Lake Mapourika, surrounded by stunning mountain peaks.
Approximate arrival time into Franz Josef in winter is 12.00pm and summer is 1.00pm.

第08天：FRANZ JOSEF - QUEENSTOWN

Often called the ‘Mirror Lake’, it is famous for its reflections of the Southern Alps which dominate the skyline - perfect for those picture postcard photos. As we head inland away from the west coast via Haast and Makarora, the scenery changes from dense forest to vast plateaus as we enter the Central Otago region. Make sure you have your cameras ready as we pass Lake Hawea and shortly after, Lake Wanaka – a popular and recommended overnight stop. Next up, is a stop at the home of the bungy, the Kawarau Bridge, 42m over the Kawarau River and the world’s first commercial bungy site.

WILDLIFE, SCOTTISH HERITAGE, CHOCOLATE FACTORY Life will slow down a little as we leave Queenstown behind us.

A wonderful mixture of Victorian colonial history and contemporary cafes and bars, Dunedin also provides a great base to explore the largest variety of wildlife on the South Island. Upon arriving in Dunedin, get close to nature and join the highly recommended Elm Wildlife Tour that takes you to the Otago Peninsular to spot yellow-eyed penguins, Albatross, sea lions and fur seals up close.
