Christchurch Tours in October 2026

I totally enjoyed my trip around NZ with AAT Kings! The scenery was majestic, the commentary, friendliness and proficiency of Isobel Needham was awesome, Dave’s driving was excellent and the accomodation & food were terrific. The variety of options for additional activities increased our enjoyment. Thank you AAT Kings!

Both Isobel & Dave were amazing, passionate & informative on all aspects of my 17 day tour. Expectations met for dining, tour options, Accommodation, time frames & no request or question was a bother or disregarded. 10/10 on both of these amazing people!!! I have been on AAPT tours before & will again. Thank you

Brilliant from start to finish. So we'll organised with the lovely Isobel talking us through the various stops , great knowledge and anecdotes as well coupled with Dave driving us safely around. Thoroughly recommend it.

The scenery and the included and optional activities were overwhelmingly great. The itinerary packs in a lot with sufficient time to enjoy it all. This was my first ever coach tour and I’m traditionally a poor passenger in any vehicle but the coach was very comfortable and I had no trouble. The tour guide was priceless with her informative and entertaining commentary. The accommodation and meals were all excellent choices. Taking it from North to South was the right choice because that left the best to last. As a bonus, take the city tram hop on/off tour when in Christchurch, it’s well worthwhile.

Breathtaking locations, activities to suit all ages, capabilities and likes. Just enough free time to do your own thing and loved the various form of travel - bus, ferry and train. Awesome trip!

New Zealand is a beautiful country. It is very green, scenic, lots of lakes and rivers and mountains covered with snow and lot of green trees. Pancake rocks in South Island in Punakaiki was one of a kind experience. Never seen anything like that. Ship ride from North Island to South Island was beautiful. Overall New Zealand is worth seeing country. We really enjoyed. Our tour manager Hope and coach driver Stu were fantastic and very knowledgeable.
