Starting and ending in the "Garden City" of Christchurch, we show you the ultimate highlights of New Zealand's stunning South Island over 7 action-packed days. From turquoise lakes to towering mountains and glaciers, the South Island's scenery will blow your mind, and the nation's adventure capital, Queenstown, has all the adrenalin activities on offer that you could possibly wish for. Included in your tour is a unique opportunity to carve your very own pounamu (greenstone) pendant with local carvers on the West Coast. Activities can be pre-booked or purchased on the road - just let your tour guide know. We can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest pre-booking any activities you especially want to do. As the tour starts early in the morning, you can opt to book accommodation in Christchurch with us the night before the tour - only having to walk downstairs on day 1 makes for a stress-free morning.
