"As Seen on TV" Romantic New Zealand from $3399 - 11 days/8 nights |
|
THE BACHELOR FINDS LOVE IN NEW ZEALAND. The final two
episodes of the romantic reality show were filmed in Queenstown and the Bay of Islands in New Zealand.
In episode seven, Jason dates each of the three finalists in romantic settings in and around the picturesque southern resort town of Queenstown, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and overlooked by the Southern Alps.
As part of the elimination process, Jason wooed his bachelorettes in a series of romantic escapades including a dramatic helicopter flight over mountains and lakes to a private picnic spot, a tandem bungy jump at the home of the world-famous extreme sport, alfresco dining
and relaxing in an outdoor hot tub.
At the end of the three "fantasy dates" in Queenstown, one unlucky bachelorette was eliminated and filming moved to the Bay of Islands in the north of the North Island for the next episode.
In the dramatic finale Jason took his final two dates for a picnic to one of the area’s iconic beaches and played golf at the scenic Kauri Cliffs golf course, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The final two ladies also had last-chance dates with Jason in the Bay of Islands including a romantic sail on a catamaran, coffee at a local café in Russell and a relaxing massage at a luxury villa, Eagle’s Nest.
Here's our perfect "As seen on TV" New Zealand romance package. |
