NZ Adventure South — 9 Day

New Zealand’s South Island does the lot: soaring alpine peaks, mirror-calm lakes, wild coastlines and enough adrenaline to keep things properly exciting. On this 9-day journey, you’ll kick things off in Christchurch before heading into some of the most spectacular country on the planet, from the towering beauty of Aoraki/Mount Cook to the glacier-carved drama of Milford Sound.

Along the way, you’ll wander through Wanaka and Queenstown, take in iconic viewpoints, and feel the rush of a jet boat cutting across some seriously cinematic scenery. With an awesome group leader from day one, like-minded travellers beside you, and comfortable accommodation to come home to each night, this is the kind of trip that makes exploring easy. All you need to do is show up ready for mountain air, big landscapes and a brilliant time on the road.

Know before you go: - This trip starts in Christchurch, so plan to arrive with enough time to be ready for day one. - Pack for changeable alpine weather, including a warm layer, rain jacket and comfortable walking shoes. - Bring a small day pack, reusable water bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses for sightseeing days. - Some activities may be weather dependent, so your group leader may adjust the schedule to keep things running smoothly. - You’ll be travelling with a group, so a flexible attitude and a ready-for-anything mindset will go a long way.
