Your journey begins in the South Island’s largest city, Christchurch. You’ll have time to explore the city before boarding the world-renowned TranzAlpine rail headed for Arthur’s Pass in the spectacular Southern Alps. From Arthur’s Pass you can journey to Queenstown, and experience all that New Zealand’s adventure capital has to offer. The UNESCO World Heritage listed Milford Sound awaits, where you’ll be treated to a scenic cruise through this beautiful fiord. You’ll then travel to Dunedin, a small, charming city with heavy Scottish influence. Your trip continues to Mt. Cook, where you can marvel at New Zealand’s highest peak. Before you return to Christchurch, you will get to experience the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo. With generous inclusions including 9 nights in 4-star accommodation, 9 cooked breakfasts and several prepaid attractions, the only thing left to do is relax and take it all in.
