Tour Itinerary
(10 Nights 11 Days)

Day 1

Arrival at Christchurch

Upon arrival at Christchurch International Airport, post the immigration & baggage; we shall pickup our rental vehicle and proceed towards hotel. It’s a long-long flight from India. Our bodies are tired & weary; screaming for rest & that’s exactly what we are going to do; but before that let’s all say in one tone - Welcome to New Zealand.

Day 2

Sights of Christchurch & Over to Lake Tekapo

After breakfast, explore the sights of Christchurch. Drive to Cathedral Square & pass by the River Avon. Discover the city’s largest urban space at Hagley Park and explore the boutique stores of New Regent Street, New Zealand’s ‘Most Beautiful Street’. Later after lunch, drive towards Lake Tekapo, about three hours south-west of Christchurch in the Mackenzie Basin. The township faces north across the remarkable turquoise coloured lake to the mountainous drama of the Southern Alps. Lake Tekapo gets its intense milky-turquoise colour from the fine rock-flour (ground by glaciers) which is suspended in the water. Lake Tekapo is in the Dark Sky Reserve & is one of the darkest areas on Planet Earth.

Day 3

Lake Tekapo to Aoraki/Mount Cook

After breakfast, explore the shimmering Lake under the bright blue skies & drive ahead towards Mount Cook passing by another beautiful lake ‘Lake Pukaki’. Aoraki Mount Cook National Park is home of the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is Alpine in the purest sense - with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky. Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, helped Sir Edmund Hillary to develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Mt Everest.

Day 4

Aoraki/Mount Cook to Queenstown

After breakfast, enjoy the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana on one of the best day hikes - wind up the Hooker Valley (4 Hours) past alpine streams and glaciers in the shadow of Aoraki/Mount Cook. From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below. After crossing the Hooker River, the track goes between old moraine ridges and humps. From the second swing bridge, the vegetation changes to more open tussock and a wider valley floor. A third swing bridge leads to the East Hooker and the source of the Hooker River. The track ends with an amazing view over the iceberg-speckled Hooker Lake and up to majestic Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana. Return on the same track, enjoying more views down valley and across to the Sealy Range. The best time to walk this stunning track is at dawn when you can view the first rays of the sun creeping over the Southern Alps, including over New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook. Early risers will be rewarded (so get up early and get going) with the serenity of sharing the track with only a handful of other walkers along its 10km length. Later, after lunch, proceed to Wanaka enjoying the scenic Lake Pukaki while on your way and further ahead to the City of adventurous dreams - Queenstown

Day 5

Queenstown - Milford Sound Cruise - Queenstown

Today, you shall leave very early in the morning; enter the Eglinton Valley and travel through the breathtaking man made Homer Tunnel to reach the most visited destination in New Zealand, ‘Milford Sound’. Situated on the west coast of the South Island, Milford Sound is a fusion of spectacular natural features with amazing visual cues around every corner. Described by Rudyard Kipling as the Eighth wonder of the world, Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages. Breathtaking in any weather, the fiords cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade downwards from as high as 1000 metres. When it rains in Milford Sound, and it often does, those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect. So just sit back and relax as your cruise departs from Milford Sound Wharf, and makes its way out past the iconic Mitre Peak. Cruise the length of the 16km fiord, out past St Annes Point Lighthouse, while listening to informative commentary from Cruise Skipper who will highlight points of interest along the way including the mighty Lady Bowen Falls, Lion Mountain, Copper Point, Seal Rock and Stirling Falls. Be sure to keep an eye out for seals basking in the sun, pods of dolphins or rare Fiordland Crested Penguins that can be found seasonally within the region. Later, make your way back to Queenstown.

Queenstown, New Zealand is the undisputed adventure capital of the world!

Day 8

Queenstown to Franz Josef

After breakfast, proceed towards Franz Josef. Stop at Blue Pools for One hour return walk through native beech forest to a glacier-fed swimming hole; enjoy numerous waterfalls like Thunder Creek Falls, Billy Water Falls and Fantail Falls. Pass through Knights Point Lookout and then hike 1.5 hrs return journey to Lake Matheson. At Lake Matheson, nature has combined exactly the right ingredients to create truly stunning reflections of New Zealands highest peaks - Aoraki (Mount Cook) and Mount Tasman. The waters of Lake Matheson are dark brown, so on a calm day they create the ideal reflective surface. The colour is caused by natural leaching of organic matter from the surrounding native forest floor. By a happy coincidence, the mountains to the east are perfectly positioned to reflect in the lake. Fox Glacier welcomes you first, and then comes your destination for the night - Franz Josef Township.

Day 9

Franz Josef to Punakaiki

Early Morning, get set for Franz Josef Glacier Walk. Not for the fainthearted, this track winds through a rocky riverbed. Youll be rewarded with stunning glacier views. The first 15 minutes of the Franz Josef walk are a breeze as the track winds through forest. The track becomes more challenging when it reaches the rocky riverbed, so suitable footwear is required. The hike finishes with a short climb to the viewing area, where you can see the icy wonderland about 750m away. Beneath the serene scene, the glacier is constantly moving, with ice and rock falling without warning. Check the latest conditions before starting your trip. Later move to Punakaiki. The Pancake Rocks in Punakaiki are the most visited natural attraction on the West Coast with good reason; they really do look like Pancakes! The Pancake Rocks at Dolomite Point near Punakaiki are a heavily eroded limestone area where the Sea bursts through several vertical blowholes. The foundations of the Pancake Rocks were formed 30 million years ago when minute fragments of dead marine creatures and plants landed on the seabed about 2 km below the surface. Immense water pressure caused them to solidify into layers of more resistant limestone and softer, thin, mud-rich layers. Gradually seismic action lifted the limestone above the Seabed where water, wind and salt spray eroded the softer layers leaving a ‘Pancake’ like stack of harder limestone. Along the way, there are some impressive blowholes that are best viewed at high tide. Later proceed to Greymouth for overnight stay.

Day 10

TranzAlpine Scenic Train to Christchurch

After breakfast, drive around Greymouth, the largest town on the West Coast and the starting point for the last leg of your journey - The TranzAlpine Scenic Train.
