South Island

South Island

The South Island New Zealand is best known for its stunning scenery, majestic snow capped mountains, aqua blue lakes, views galore and more colours than my son's kalaedescope. Welcome to a hit on your senses. South Island will of course be on your holiday list and take as long as you can seeing all the amazing places and landmarks that are on offer. A self drive holiday, be it in a car, on a motorbike or in a motorhome is a sure fire way of meeting the friendly locals. Alternatively and equally as rewarding are the hand picked small group tours that we have on offer, combining al the sights whilst you make new friends with the same travelling spirit. For the fit we have some truly stunning walks (aka tramps in NZ speak) of 2-5 day durations with views out of this world. Activities galore await around each corner. A destination fit for every age. Dont miss a thing.

Blenheim & Marlborough Region

Blenheim & Marlborough Region

This is wine country and some of New Zealand's most famous wines are produced here. Dotted with gorgeous boutique hotels with an array of activities, there is plenty to do. Do not overlook this area, it has much to offer and with all that wine around, the taxi is often the preferred transport.

Christchurch & Canterbury

Christchurch & Canterbury

From the silvery beaches of the coast to the jagged peaks of the Southern Alps, the Canterbury landscape is impossible to ignore. Big scenery is the order of the day - huge panoramas of ocean or mountains, great sweeps of pastureland and massive amounts of sky. This is a truly stunning region.

Dunedin

Dunedin

Idyllic fishing villages, wildlife galore and rolling green pastures make up Dunedin and the Central Otago region. Founded in 1869, New Zealand’s oldest and largest university gives Dunedin its reputation as a centre of learning. This is a vibrant city and well worth a visit.

Nelson & Abel Tasman

Nelson & Abel Tasman

A pocket of paradise in the top northwest corner of the South Island, Nelson has a positive, creative attitude to life - and it’s easy to see why. Spend spring days exploring Nelson’s re-awakening vineyards. Visit the studios of local artists and artisans or lunch at a seaside café.

Queenstown & Fiordland

Queenstown & Fiordland

The first people to discover Queenstown's rare beauty were Maori pounamu (jade) hunters. Then came the gold miners, in search of another kind of treasure. Today Queenstown is treasured for its magnificent scenery, adventure opportunities and luxury lifestyle. Springtime in Queenstown is gorgeous.
