The 2019 “South Island” Highlights Tour

Tour Description:
Our South Island Tour is one of our most popular tours. This is a memorable colourful Hinterland tour of the South Island as well as been a great Holiday. Travelling to places you have unlikely seen before as we are well known for “ticki-touring” off the main roads. Our Autumn South Island Holiday is an unforgettable journey.

In our personalised Itinerary the start of stunning Autumn colours will be seen as we drift South through the Hawke’s Bay and Wairarapa countryside, cross on the ferry to the South Island and continue South to Kaikoura, through Marlborough and Canterbury, before swinging inland to explore the amazing scenery of lakes and dramatic mountains of North and Central Otago.

Just a few of the towns and places of exceptional beauty we will visit are Fairlie, Burkes Pass, Lake Tekapo, Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki, Twizel, Lindis Pass, Tarras, Cromwell, Bendigo, Alexandra, Arrowtown, Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, Glenorchy, Cordrona, Wanaka, Mt Aspiring Station, not forgetting the picturesque country beyond. (Optional day tour from Queenstown to the Fiordland National park for a Cruise on Milford Sound).

From Otago we travel north-west through Haast Pass, then venture up the rustic West Coast, pass Fox Glacier, Franz Josef, Hokitika, Westport, St Arnaud and onto Picton to ferry across The Strait to Wellington. Once off the ferry, we travel through the Manawatu, staying the night before finally arriving home.
