Included Experience

• Glenorchy: Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as you hike up the side of this breathtaking mountain and bond with your group. This simply is a Queenstown must-do.
• Glenorchy: Come learn about the incredible work that goes behind conserving NZ's unique wildlife on this talk. With around 80,000 native species (many found nowhere else), it’s a biodiversity jackpot. But all the introduced mammals have wreaked havoc, pushing native species to the brink. That’s where the Routeburn Dart Wildlife Trust steps in, leading predator control efforts to save them. (Now you see why Kiwis are such eco-warriors!).

Hello & welcome adventurers! We kick off our journey right here in Christchurch (Ōtautahi), famous for its botanical gardens, cycle routes and sumptuous dining spots. With no time to waste, we’ll hit the road to our very first stop, Arthur's Pass. Driving through Arthurs Pass National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park, we’ll make a quick stop for refreshments and take in all the magical alpine scenery. Lunch breaks are rarely ever this scenic. So make sure your camera’s fully charged when we hit Hokitika.  And, here we are - in the Fox Glacier (Te Moeka o Tuawe)! Come bond with your crew over a delicious 2-course dinner and then catch some sleep for the big day tomorrow.

Time to get exploring! Here at Fox Glacier, you’ll have the chance to look around on foot, sure, but the action doesn’t stop there. That’s right, you’ll have the opportunity to take an E-bike tour or even better, get an absolutely spectacular view of the glacier from a helicopter (!). We’ve satisfied our inner adventurer, now it’s time to satisfy our hungry tummies. Tonight, we’ll grab some dinner at a rustic 150-year-old hotel (with the mountains as our backdrop!). And then it’s back to our hotel to rest our travel-tired limbs.

Luckily, the historic gold mining town of  Arrowtown (Kā Muriwai) has a spot or two to satisfy the rumble. Our home for the coming few days? The adventure capital of the world!

Queenstown, it’s been a blast but we’ve gotta be off now. We’re making our way to even more mesmerising views. Twizel is a worthy stop-off on any NZ trip. Luckily, this is where you'll munch on some lunch (surrounded by enchanting natural beauty). It's a feast for your tummy and your eyes... It's hike time! Hike underneath the incredible Aoraki Mount Cook AKA Aotearoa New Zealand's highest mountain. It's one of NZ's most famous hiking tracks. Or as the Kiwis call it - 'tramping tracks'. Staying on the edge of one of NZ's most photographed lakes, we’ll arrive into the glacier-fed beauty of Tekapo. Tonight, you have the option to wind down inside a hot pool (surrounded by alpine scenery). But you don’t want the adventure to stop - we’ve got the ultimate stargazing experience in the world's largest International Dark Sky Reserve. Oh, the views!

You know it’s a good morning when you wake up to unreal lake views. And today, you have the chance to see it all from above with the famous Grand Traverse Flight! Next, we’ll get a move on, making our way back to Christchurch. This quaint farming town is the gateway to the oh-so-stunning central & southern lakes and the Canterbury plains too. (P.S. It’s a great stop to try local jams, chutneys, juices and cheeses!).  It’s time to say goodbye (sadly). What an adrenaline & scenery-packed ride it has been! But not to worry, because we’ll be back again another time, in another place, for another adventure. That’s what life’s about, right?
