Kiwi Contrasts  New Zealand Tour

16 Days              New Zealand:   Wellington to Wellington
Tour Type:         Overland           Camping, Hostels, Lodges.   

 

From Wellington we board the Cook Straight Ferry and head straight for the South Island which we enter through the very scenic Queen Charlotte Sound. Our journey takes us through Molesworth Station before visiting Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. From Kaikoura we travel to Christchurch. Departing Christchurch we spend an unforgettable couple of nights in a High Country Station before stopping at Lake Tekapo. Passing through Central Otago - the middle of the South Island - we reach Te Anau and then Milford Sound where we take a delightful cruise on the Sounds. Our next stop is Queenstown; backed by the Remarkables’ Range the Resort town enjoys one of the most scenic settings in the world. We head up the West Coast to Fox Glacier, Punakaiki (Pancake Rocks) and onto Abel Tasman National Park (the smallest of New Zealand’s National Parks) where you will have time to explore the golden beaches, sandy estuaries and natural forest. We cross back over the Cook Straight to Wellington where this New Zealand tour ends.
