Overview

Explore the best of New Zealand's stunning South Island - the Jewel of the Pacific! - with a multi-activity trip and plenty of options to suit your fancy! We begin and end in the adventure capital of Queenstown. At time of booking, choose your three-day adventure: Backpacking through Nelson Lakes National Park, Sea Kayaking in Marlborough Sounds, or Mountain Biking on the Queen Charlotte Track! With your full group, enjoy a snorkeling trip to a seal colony, a wine tasting in rural farmlands, take some of New Zealand's most stunning day hikes, and do some unforgettable sea kayaking and cycling in secluded and beautiful parts of the South Island. We maintain plenty of options, and every activity is optional, so we can make sure the trip works for YOU. We have two guides to take good care of you, and our itinerary includes a free day in the lovely "Garden City" of Christchurch. If you enjoy the outdoors and like a bit of a challenge, this two-week adventure is the perfect way to experience New Zealand. The accommodations vary - for over half the trip we stay in very comfortable standards (B&Bs, lodges, etc.) and for the rest of the trip we have chosen more rustic accommodations in order to be in the most beautiful, isolated and memorable places in New Zealand. This is simply a breathtaking trip!
