Overview of your Christchurch tour:

So, you are considering a 10 day tour. Well, let me be your guide. . . . . you will enjoy the pace on this tour . . it is not too long or short. . find those hidden gems : locations like wild Hokitika Beach or experience the feeling of awe as you gaze up at Mitre Peak from sea level in Milford Sound. Appreciate the remarkable diversity of the South Island as we explore the east coast cities, make our way up into the Southern Alps and on to the rainforests of the West Coast. This classic circuit is completed by returning to Christchurch across Arthurs Pass. . so you get a really good perspective of the lower most scenic half of the island. What our guests often enjoy most are the chance encounters with wildlife - the cheeky kea, NZ's inquisitive parrot, or having to stop for 100's of sheep on a country road as well as sea-life like seals, penguins and dolphins. I will bring my experience of over 25 years as a guide and teacher along and it will be my pleasure to show you this amazing, beautiful island !
