This tour is a great option if you have some time between Christchurch and Auckland and is suitable for both those travellers who want a taste of New Zealand, AND those who have already spent some time here. We show you both our capital city Wellington alongside some truly untouched parts of the country.
We are particularly proud of our accommodation choices for this tour. In Punakaiki we stay at a retreat surrounded by pure West Coast rainforest just 5 minutes from the beach. Along the outskirts of Abel Tasman National Park we spend one night on a 100 acre farm nestled in the Marahau Valley and the other night on an ex-navy marine boat (summer only)! On day 7, River Valley is a unique adventure lodge situated far from urban life – a beautiful setting perfect for both relaxing and finding adrenalin rushes!
A full day by day itinerary will be provided by the tour operator when you make an enquiry about this holiday.
