What to expect

New Zealand’s South Island is home to some of the world’s most unique landscapes and experiences, and on this 10-day tour you’ll be shown the best of what it has to offer, from Milford Sound to Mt Cook. You’ll travel in style on a beautifully crafted Premium Economy Comfort coach that’s been made for touring.

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.
