This one-of-a-kind 9 day New Zealand South Island tour takes you on a wonderful journey from Queenstown. The first stop is Milford Sound where you’ll take a cruise on the picturesque sound against the backdrop of the iconic Mitre Peak.
Then we travel on to Wanaka, experience the West Coast’s rainforests, the jaw dropping Franz Josef Glacier and the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks. Finally, our journeys finishes in Christchurch after a stunning journey over the Southern Alps.
A short tour that will leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
What Tanya loves about this tour:
The West Coast is covered in World Heritage National Parks and you travel right through them accompanied by your Kiwi guide. And of course there's the beauty in the grandeur of Milford Sound and my favourite drive in New Zealand - Arthur’s Pass.
