From Wellington we board our ferry to the South Island. We travel through Marlborough where New Zealand’s award winning wines are produced and then drive along the beautiful East Coast to Kaikoura. Take time out in Christchurch before making our way to Dunedin which boasts the world’s steepest street. Continuing south we make our way to Te Anau and Milford Sound. Queenstown, backed by the Remarkables’ Range, enjoys one of the most scenic settings in the world. We then head to the wild West Coast to Pukekura and Fox and Franz Glaciers with a stop at Arrowtown, one of the best preserved gold mining towns in the area. From the Glaciers we make our way up the West Coast to Abel Tasman NP stopping en route to take in the limestone formations of Pancake Rocks  at Punakaiki.
