NZ Adventure South

Kia ora! Touching down in Christchurch, we'll meet you at our centrally located hostel to settle in.

This evening you'll meet up with the rest of your travel crew and get excited for all the adventures to come!

Discover the vibrant city of Christchurch, where history comes alive at every turn, before we make our way to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tekapo!

Today, we'll hike up the stunning Mount John, where 360-degree panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps await. Afterward, we'll unwind and recharge by soaking our tired muscles in soothing hot pools—pure bliss!

Get ready for an epic scenic drive through the jaw-dropping Southern Alps as we make our way to the charming lakeside town of Wanaka, nestled beneath towering snow-capped peaks. Along the way, we'll take on the legendary Hooker Valley Hike, winding through a stunning valley that leads us to unbeatable views of Aoraki/Mount Cook—the tallest mountain in New Zealand!

Today we check out all Wanaka has to offer, including going kayaking on the beautiful Lake Wanaka and discovering the famous Wanaka Tree.

Later, we'll tackle the Mount Iron hike, where we'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the Pisa Range and the Upper Clutha Basin.

After travelling to buzzing Queenstown, we'll get oriented with the high-octane adventure capital of NZ (and dare we say, the world!).

Jumping on a fjord cruise, we'll experience the spellbinding combination of towering peaks, forested cliffs, resident seals, and plummeting waterfalls up close and personal. Pick your jaw up off the floor, this is mother nature at her finest!

Today we'll get a splash of adrenaline with a jet-boat ride. Feel the thrill as the highly skilled driver keeps things pumping with 360-degree spins and speeds more than 80km/h.

Tonight we'll get the gang together for our farewell dinner and final night out on the town! Time to see what this backpacker hub is all about after dark!

This morning your Southern Kiwi adventure comes to an end. Prepped and ready for the next leg of your travels along with the new friends you've made, we'll be there for support every step of the way.
