The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and various other smaller ones - along with Maori culture and a touch of urban cosmopolitanism in cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.

A true ECO-tour experience!
You may choose to contact a Kiwi Specialist for assistance in planning your 13 (or 14) day trip to New Zealand because there are many different areas in New Zealand that meet your criteria. I like to either speak with my clients or send them a list of questions before making suggestions as it provides me with the information needed to guide them through their trip.
With 13 days you should try not to bite off too much. I would suggest visiting maybe 4/5 regions and getting a feel for New Zealand rather than trying to see the whole country.
Maybe Rotorua/Taupo/Hawkes Bay regions in the North Island and then Canterbury and Queenstown in the South Island.
All the best with your planning.
