Queenstown to Christchurch via Mt Cook (1 way) (Small Group)
At 3724 metres, Aoraki Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak. As a sacred ancestor for local Ngā Tahu iwi, Aoraki is more than just a mountain. He and his brothers’ story is arguably one of the South Island’s most important Māori legends, speaking to the dramatic formation of Kā Tiritiri o te Moana (Southern Alps) which have since become home to one of Aotearoa’s most beautiful National Parks.
So why not join us as we travel to this region and beyond, experiencing the best of what the South Island has to offer. Escaping the hustle and bustle of Tāhuna Queenstown, this 1 way trip adventures via the Lindis, Lake Pukaki, Aoraki Mt Cook Village, and Lake Tekapo, before arriving in Ōtautahi Christchurch. You will be driven in comfort by our modern, comfortable Mercedes Sprinter (or similar) packed with the extras to make the trip that bit easier. Led by our fun, knowledgeable, and passionate tour guides, this journey is one you will never forget!
