Extreme NZ   New Zealand Tour

18 Days             New Zealand: Christchurch to Auckland
Tour Type:        Overland        Camping, Hotels, Lodges.   


Leaving Christchurch we take in the sights of the Southern Alps and Mount Cook from Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. Continuing south, we travel into the remote farming community of Mackenzie Country driving towards Dunedin. We now head to Milford Sound and pass Lake Te Anau. Queenstown is our next stop and is the place for bungee, skydiving, white water rafting, river sledging etc etc or to relax and just take in the sights. We then take time out at Pukekura, and Fox and Franz Glaciers; where you have the opportunity to walk on this mass of moving blue ice or take a scenic flight over it. Driving up the rugged West Coast we take in Punakaikei and Pancake Rocks before reaching Abel Tasman National Park, which you can explore by foot, boat or kayak. After a night in Nelson we cross over the Cook Straight by ferry to New Zealand’s capital, Wellington and then head North  via Rangitikei, Pipiriki and National Park into the lush farming region of  Waikato, where we go underground in some of Waitomo’s 45 km network of limestone caves.  We have one last free camp before we travel to Auckland where this New Zealand adventure tour ends.
