North Europe and Iceland - Hosted small group tour.
Early in August 2019 we will depart Auckland bound for the opposite side of the world! (with a one night rest stop on route). Arriving in Stockholm, we start our Arctic Scandinavian adventure. For 18 days, hear tales of Vikings, and Lapland stories from the Sami people & travel through dramatic fjord and glacier landscapes. We will view the world’s northern-most university and meet Santa in Rovaniemi. Travelling through the Scandinavian capitals, and visiting the North Cape visitor centre where we can witness the land of the midnight sun!
Arriving at Helsinki, we’ll ferry across to explore the Baltic states, basing ourselves in the wonderful medieval city of Tallinn. After our rest, we’ll cross the sea back to Helsinki airport. Those that are ready can head back to home (with a stop on route to break the journey), but those keen to continue will fly to Iceland. This is the land of fire and ice, offering staggeringly beautiful landscapes, and maybe, if we are lucky, a glimpse of the Northern lights!
Our tour ends as we fly back to Helsinki for a night, then home, with once again a night on route breaking the journey.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
