Australia’s very first Bachelorette, Sam Frost, is taking her potential hubbies across the ditch for a romantic adventure in the Land of the Long White Cloud.

The gorgeous gal will make her final decision after exploring New Zealand’s North Island from the geothermal wonderland of Rotorua to the biggest, smallest city, Auckland.

Can’t wait to see who she picks – eeee.

While the audience waits for her highly anticipated announcement, they’ll also get a glimpse of New Zealand’s wonders from the Air New Zealand flight to the fun high-end adventure and activities on land.

As part of the final journey, Sam will take one date on a white water rafting trip in Rotorua before indulging in the destination’s thermal treatments.

In Auckland, the date will take to the skies in style, travelling by seaplane to Waiheke Island before enjoying views back to the cosmopolitan city of Auckland.

Sam’s family from Melbourne will join her in New Zealand to meet the final two contestants.

Sam will then choose ‘the one’ at the final Rose Ceremony at a secluded Auckland location – a place of unparalleled natural beauty only 45 minutes’ drive from central Auckland.

Reflecting on her trip, Sam Frost said New Zealand literally took her breath away.

New Zealand is the only international destination to be showcased throughout The Bachelorette Australia series, which has seen record ratings. The season finale airs on Network TEN on Thursday, 22 October at 7.30pm AEDT.
