Description

This small group tour offers an intimate and immersive experience, taking you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes New Zealand has to offer. Discover the majesty of Mt Cook, the serenity of Lake Tekapo, and much more on this unforgettable adventure. Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from select Christchurch accommodation locations. As we leave Christchurch, we traverse the expansive Canterbury Plains, known for their fertile farmland and sweeping vistas. Enjoy the views of lush pastures and distant mountains as we make our way towards our first major stop. Our first highlight is the breathtaking Lake Tekapo. Marvel at the vibrant turquoise waters, a result of fine glacial sediment, and visit the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd. Next, we’ll stop at the equally stunning Lake Pukaki. The lake’s striking blue waters and panoramic views of Mt Cook make it a perfect spot for capturing unforgettable memories. Learn about the glacial origins of the lake and enjoy the fresh mountain air. A major highlight of the tour is Mt Cook National Park, home to New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mt Cook. You'll have 2 and a half hours (approximately) to explore the park and take in the awe-inspiring views. Opt for a optional scenic flight (weather permitting) to get a bird’s-eye view of the Southern Alps, take stroll along some of the local walks, or relax with a hot drink at the Hermitage Hotel. After departing from Mt Cook we continue our journey to Queenstown, with stops at the Salmon farm to try the freshest salmon you will ever have, and the Lindis Pass. The dramatic landscapes of tussock-covered hills and alpine vistas make for a spectacular drive, with plenty of opportunities for photos. As we approach Queenstown, we’ll pass by the historic Kawarau Gorge. Here, you can marvel at the iconic Kawarau Bridge, the birthplace of bungee jumping. Our final destination is Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand. We’ll conclude the tour with a drop-off at select central Queenstown locations, leaving you perfectly situated to explore this vibrant and exciting city.
