Christchurch, known as the ‘Garden City’, is next followed by time out to take in the breathtaking scenery of Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki. Dunedin, nestled beneath green rolling hills, is next on our journey of the south. We travel over to Fiordland - New Zealand’s largest National Park - and take a boat cruise on Milford Sound.
