Day 1 Fly USA to Queenstown (Via Auckland)
Day 2 Cross the Dateline
Day 3 Arrive Queenstown
Nestled beside the deep blue waters of Lake Wakatipu, at the
foot of the Remarkables Mountain Range, Queenstown is a year round
resort, where you can be as active as you want, or just leisurely
enjoy the magnificent scenery. On arrival into Queenstown, you will
be met and transferred to your accommodation, or if you choose the
rental car option, you will pick up your vehicle and self drive to
your hotel.
Day 4 Milford Sound
full day tour
An early start as you depart your hotel and coach through
some of the most beautiful countryside in New Zealand. On arrival at
Milford Sound, board the vessel for a leisurely cruise along the
sound to the Tasman Sea. The vessel stops at various points and
plenty of time is available to view waterfalls, rainforest,
mountains and seals. You may even see dolphins frolic alongside the
boat. A buffet lunch is included during the cruise.
Arrive back at the wharf around 1.45pm and board the coach
for the return ride to Queenstown – arriving around 7pm. Fly back
options are available with all daytime and overnight cruises
(weather permitting) for additional cost. You may book this on the
day or ahead of time prior to leaving for your trip.
Day 5 At leisure,
Queenstown
At your leisure to explore the adventure capital of New
Zealand. Set between the towering Remarkable Ranges and the
bottomless Lake Wakitipu, Queenstown has it all – bungee jumping,
jet boating, rafting, amazing scenic helicopter flights. You may
wish to visit Milford or Doubtful Sound or the old gold mining town
of Arrowtown.
Day 6 Travel
Queenstown to Christchurch
Travel by coach or rental car to Christchurch. Stop in Mount
Cook via the Lindis Pass and then down the Southern Alps to the
Canterbury Plains and Christchurch. There are flight seeing
excursions available from Mount Cook (additional cost) which may be
booked on the day.
Day 7 At leisure,
Christchurch
Christchurch, the city of parks and gardens, trees and beauty, is
also buzzing with street life. Wine bars, street cafes and exciting
entertainments give the central city vitality that is unique in New
Zealand. Christchurch is said to be the most English city outside
England. The downtown district focuses on Cathedral Square, where
you'll find buskers, speakers and the eccentric Wizard of
Christchurch (who is classified as a living work of art). You can
sedately cruise the Avon River by punt, on its meandering course
through town, under many bridges and past historic landmarks, or do
your own thing by canoe. Vintage car, horse and carriage, hot air
ballooning and guided walking tours: these are just a few ways to
explore the Garden City.
Day 8 Fly Christchurch to USA (Via Auckland)
Rental your rental car, or, if you chose the coach option, you will
be transferred to the airport for your departure flight to Auckland,
and then on to the USA.
