Enjoy the rural pastoral scenes on the journey to picturesque Kaikoura, where mountains meet sea. Kaikoura is world renowned for the variety of marine mammals which can be seen, not least of all the Giant Sperm Whales and the acrobatic Dusky Dolphins. Join a Whale Watch cruise for an exciting up-close encounter with these marvellous animals in their natural environment and visit a fur seal colony on the rocky shores.
Take a spectacular journey on the TranzAlpine train across patchwork paddocks to the Southern Alps. Weave through cliff-lined river gorges, over braided rivers and around pristine mountain lakes. At Arthur’s Pass you will be met by your driver/guide for a walk in the National Park and an invigorating taste of New Zealand’s wild beauty. Stop at Castle Hill for some epic photo opportunities and visit a working farm.
Travel through the spectacular Canterbury plains and some impressive alpine passes with amazing views before arriving at Lake Tekapo. A photo stop at the popular Church of the Good Shepherd before continuing on to Lake Pukaki and Aoraki Mount Cook. While in the National Park there is time to enjoy free walks or one of the extra optional activities before the return to Christchurch.
