New Zealand Destinations
Aotearoa — the land of the long white cloud. Two islands, endless landscapes, and a warmth of welcome that turns every group tour into a story worth retelling.
A Country of Extraordinary Contrast
From subtropical beaches in the north to glaciers and fjords in the south, New Zealand packs a continent of scenery into one easily navigable country. Distances are short, roads are quiet, and every region offers something genuinely distinct — perfect for compact, varied group itineraries.
As proud Qualmark members and a Department of Conservation concession holder, Mercury Pacific can take your groups places others can't — onto DOC tracks, into national parks, and behind the scenes of the country we know best.

From the rebuilt Garden City of Christchurch to French-flavoured Akaroa and the whale-rich waters of Kaikōura, where the Southern Alps tumble straight into the Pacific.
