Highlights

Take in the magic of the spectacular Fox Glacier region weaving through rainforests and a walk around the shimmering Lake Matheson.

Witness the stunning, millions of years old scenery at the dramatic Pancake Rocks and the Hokitika Gorge, and spot fur seals at Cape Foulwind.

Soak up the silence of Milford Sound on a cruise across its waters – you’ll be left speechless by the hundreds of tumbling cascades and deeply forested mountains.

Cross the Foveaux Strait to unspoilt Stewart Island and spend two days cruising the bays and inlets to spot penguins and seabirds and walking along its forested coastal tracks in search of kiwis.

Itinerary

New Zealand’s South Island beckons with its wild beauty and legendary hospitality on the New Zealand South Island Adventure—a 12-day journey for those with a thirst for nature and discovery. From Christchurch to Queenstown, this moderate-activity tour package is packed with highlights: hike ancient forests, kayak past glacier-carved cliffs, and set sail on the pristine waters of Fiordland National Park’s Milford Sound.

Unwind with botanical gin tastings in Reefton, soak in natural spas, and cross to untouched Stewart Island, where listening for the call of the kiwi bird becomes a nighttime adventure. Each day brings a new landscape—towering mountains, coastal caves, and tranquil lakes—ensuring that no two experiences are the same.

The tour’s USP? A seamless blend of adventure and authentic Kiwi culture, offering both high-energy activities and moments of serene beauty for an unforgettable South Island escape.
