Beginning and ending at Christchurch, we take a clockwise loop to include the beautiful alpine surroundings of Lake Tekapo and Wanaka - pure turqouise/blue waters surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains... pure New Zealand! On your final day travel from one coast to the other, over the Southern Alps via Arthur's Pass on the Tranz Alpine Express - rated as one of the world's greatest railway journeys.
In addition to the picture perfect scenes and stunning views, there is lots of adventure to be had along the way - skydiving, bungy jumping, white-water rafting, hot air ballooning, scenic flights, glacier treks, quad biking, extreme jet boating, skiing/snowboarding in winter, surfing... an endless list of fun just waiting to happen!

We promise you will leave having both learned and experienced our country first hand, pushed yourself to limits you never thought you could reach, made a great group of friends from all around the world, and played a role in a thousand stories to amaze the folks with back home.
