Round the World with Air New Zealand

Begin your round-the-world journey in Tokyo, a city where ancient tradition and futuristic energy coexist in perfect harmony. Wander through the serene gardens of Meiji Shrine, dive into the neon-lit buzz of Shibuya Crossing, or savour sushi at the famed Tsukiji Outer Market. From the quiet beauty of a tea ceremony to the cutting-edge fashion of Harajuku, Tokyo offers a sensory-rich start to your adventure. Speak to your travel expert to tailor your stay with the perfect accommodation and unforgettable experiences that bring this dynamic city to life.

Next, touch down in Auckland, where your journey continues with a fresh breath of New Zealand air and a deep connection to nature. Surrounded by volcanic peaks and sparkling harbours, Auckland is a vibrant blend of Māori heritage, coastal charm, and modern city life. Spend your days sailing the Hauraki Gulf, exploring black-sand beaches, or tasting local wines on Waiheke Island. Whether you're hiking through ancient forests or discovering the city’s creative energy, Auckland offers a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Explore the creative pulse of the city, from the art-filled streets of Downtown to the iconic sights of Hollywood and the laid-back vibes of Venice Beach. Hike to the Griffith Observatory for sweeping views over the city, catch a sunset along the Pacific Coast Highway, or dive into the diverse food scene that reflects LA’s global spirit.
