New Zealand North South Island Trip
Starts Christchurch, Ends Queenstown
US$ 2490, 6 days
January 3rd – January 8th, 2010
Six glorius days spent touring some of the best spots the South Island has to offer. This is a great trip if you are short on time and still want a taste of New Zealand or if you want an introduction to New Zealand’s amazing outdoors prior to trekking the Milford or Routeburn tracks.
Starting in the garden city of Christchurch we get right in to it by heading straight to the West Coast of the South Island, making our way through Arthur’s pass. Our journey is broken up into short hikes, which explore some of the fantastic landscapes the West Coast has to offer.

Highlights Include:

  • - The exploration of the Fox Glacier- an 8 mile glacier that stretches from the summits of NZ’s highest mountains down to the rain forests.
  • - A journey along New Zealand’s West Coast cant pass up a trip into Milford Sound, described a the eighth wonder of the world. Not only do you get to explore this amazing landscape with it mile high mountains rising straight out of the water, but we do so from water level in sea kayak.
  • - We wrap up the trip in Queenstown, New Zealand’s adventure capital. How adventurous you are is up to you. You may choose to bungy jump, go water rafting, skydiving, parapanting, or one of the many crazy and not so crazy activities.

For those individuals wishing to make a rapid departure we offer a courtesy shuttle that returns from Queenstown back to Christchurch, allowing you to make connections back to Auckland for international departures.

A great trip if you wish to wrap up your visit to New Zealand with a 3-4 day great walk (hike). Such as the Routeburn or Milford Tracks. If you are considering this we can arrange your treks and or your travel and accommodation prior to and after.

Cant decide what to do or have questions or concerns, we would be more than happy to talk you through your options or answer your questions.
