The Zephyr pass works well with many round the world tickets, which fly you into Auckland and out again from Christchurch.

From Auckland, you'll head up north to the gorgeous Bay of Islands, where you can bathe in hot springs and swim with dolphins. Next you'll travel south through this jewel of a country, stopping at Rotorua with its boiling lakes of mud, visiting Tongariro National Park where Lord of the Rings was filmed, and checking out Franz Josef Glacier and Queenstown before reaching the end of your action-packed journey in Christchurch.

The Kitchen Sink is the most comprehensive of the north-to-south passes. This makes it the perfect choice if you plan to fly into Auckland and out again from Christchurch, and want to experience all of New Zealand's most famous sights and off-the-beaten-track wonders along the way.

From dolphins to penguins, zorbing to bungy jumping, lakes to mountains to islands to rainforest, with the Kitchen Sink pass you won't miss a thing!

The Sheep Dog is the cheapest and simplest of the Auckland-to-Christchurch passes, so it's perfect for anyone who doesn't have long to spend in this treasure-trove of a country.

In just 16 days you can travel by raft through underground caves full of glow-worms, throw yourself off a massive bungy jump at Queenstown, adventure capital of the World, explore the awesome scenery of River Valley on horseback and much more. And of course, you can take much longer if you like.

The Joint Mullets is basically the Sheep Dog pass plus the East As pass. Just don't ask us why it's called the Joint Mullets...

So what does it include that the Sheep Dog pass doesn't? Well, there's the chance to stay in a beautiful lodge on the beach and watch the sunset from a hot tub, the chance to ride a horse across the golden sands at Rangitukia, and amazing surfing near Gisbourne, the World's most easterly city. In other words, if you're a beach bum, this one's for you!
