Exceptional Travel, a luxury tour operator based in The Cotswolds, have launched their latest suggested itinerary, highlighting their top picks in New Zealand including the 2015 Cricket World Cup featuring the host's match against England in Wellington.

The diverse itinerary takes in some of the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, combined with spectacular lodges, exceptionally welcome hosts, incredible cuisine and magnificent wines.

The tour includes the Bay of Islands, Taupo, Hawke's Bay, Palliser, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Arthur's Pass, Christchurch, and Queenstown.

With a wide variety of experiences, guests will enjoy numerous exhilarating heli-safaris, jet boat tours, sailing and mountain biking combined with more sedate activities such as fly fishing on beautiful rivers, golf on breath-taking courses and luxurious award winnings spas. They will also have the opportunity to discover the country's history, culture and wildlife during private tours with the area's top specialist guides.

The highlight of the tour for any sports fan is the Cricket World Cup match between New Zealand and England in Wellington where guests can expect a buzzing Westpac Stadium.

Founder and Managing Director, Toby Warren, said 'New Zealand has it all, yet many are still not aware of the luxury options on offer in this incredible country. Kiwi's are the most magnificent hosts and the food and wine is second to none. With a wealth of excellent lodges to discover throughout the country, the Cricket World Cup seems the perfect opportunity to showcase some of our favourite properties and celebrate the fantastic variety of experiences on offer.'

Having recently returned from New Zealand, Toby is well placed to advise on bespoke itineraries incorporating a range of activities, tailor-made to his client's personal tastes and preferences.
