Starting in 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 south via Marlborough’s wine region and along the rocky coast to Kaikoura. From Kaikoura we travel to Christchurch and across the Canterbury Plains for stunning views of Mt Cook and the Southern Alps from Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. We drive onto Dunedin before making our way south west to Fiordland and a boat trip on Milford Sound. Our next stop is Queenstown where you can try your hand at bungee jumping, skydiving, white water rafting, river sledging, or simply take in the magnificent views of this picture postcard scenery with a gondola ride to the top of the peaks. We head up the West Coast to Fox and Franz Glaciers, past the Pancake Rocks and onto Abel Tasman National Park where you will have time to explore the golden beaches, sandy estuaries and natural forest. We cross back over the Cook Straight and have a chance to explore Wellington before heading north around the base of Mt Taranaki and New Plymouth. We travel to Waitomo where there is 45 km’s of an underground cave and grotto network. Our last stop is the small west coast town of Raglan after which you tour comes to an end in Auckland.
