With Active Downunder’s North and South Golf & Wine itinerary, visitors get the best of both New Zealand islands. The 13-day self-drive trip features spectacular scenery, luxury accommodations, dazzling wines and plenty of exceptional golf — including the courses at Kauri Cliffs, Cape Kidnappers and Millbrook. Highlights include exploring Napier’s Art Deco architecture, a helicopter cruise to view the Bay of Islands, vineyard tours and tastings in the country’s oldest wine region of Hawke’s Bay and tours of the boutique vineyards located in the Central Otago region.
Time to explore both Auckland and Queenstown is built in, with recreational options that include hiking, kayaking, cycling, ziplining, sailing on an America’s Cup boat, snorkeling, spa treatments or downtime to relax. The North Island route features a jaunt down the Thermal Explorer Highway, part of the Great New Zealand Touring Route, with options to stop and explore local Maori culture and the geothermal attractions at Rotorua. Priced starting at NZD 5,299 (about $4,600), itineraries include 5-star accommodations, daily breakfast, car rental, nine holes of golf at Millbrook, tastings at four wineries and a helicopter tour.

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately.
