Itinerary 

DAY 1

·      Christchurch – We start this three-day tour in the Garden City- We explore the rich history within our central city including the Bridge of Remembrance, spending some time going through the Christchurch Botanical Gardens. Then we head over the hills to Akaroa – the most French town in New Zealand. As we head over the peninsular, there are multiple lookout points once we reach the summit, perfect for taking photos.

·      Akaroa -  Once there, make sure you have a walk around the township and check out the local gift shops, and you can’t leave before trying the handmade fudge – it is delightful! We end the day with dinner and drink at a local pub (included) 

DAY 2

·      Akaroa – We start the day in this beautiful town, make sure to grab some breakfast before we make our way to Mt Cook! 

·      Aoraki/Mt Cook – Time to head to Mt Cook – this is the mountain that prepared Sir Edmund Hillary for his conquest of Everest, and is the tallest mountain in New Zealand. Plus lunch is at the simply stunning Hermitage in the Mount Cook National Park, what a better place to eat with a view!

·      Mt Cook Information Centre – We will take in the beauty that is Aoraki/Mount Cook. Weather dependant, we will be able to get some amazing photos and videos of the mountain itself. At 3724m, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak, however, the mountain can be viewed without any acclimatisation whatsoever from the village which is just 750m above sea level. 

DAY 3

·      Aoraki/Mt Cook – We leave this majestic mountain to make our way to the adventure capital of New Zealand – Queenstown. This part of the journey is simply a showstopper, like driving in a postcard - you will see stunning scenery surrounded by mountains, forming the perfect backdrop! There will be plenty of stops along the way including where they filmed the epic battle scene in Return of the King in the Mackenzie Country, and the stunning Kawarau Gorge. 

·      Queenstown – We arrive in the city who knows how to take adventure to the next level, and there is always a sense of fun. Time for your new adventure to being, but unfortunately it is now time for us to say our goodbyes and part ways.
