Starting in Christchurch, we travel across the Canterbury plains to discover what it's like to run a sheep farm (at the Kiwi Farm Experience). We stop for lunch at Lake Tekapo, with an optional 40 minute flight available (well worth it if you can afford). We continue onto Lake Pukaki for some fabulous photos of Mt Cook, before finishing up on the shores of Lake Ohau. (MT,D)DAY 2 Lake Ohau to Fiordland Experience. Start with a drive through Cromwell district and near the Kawarau river - typical Lord of the Rings territory. Stopping in Te Anau, we'll take time to admire the glacial Mirror Lake, before pressing on. Tonight we'll experience the fiords up close, with an overnight cruise. We may spot seals and dolphins if we're lucky! (B,D)DAY 3-4 Fiordland to Queenstown. We'll continue the cruise this morning, before setting off for the adrenalin capital of the Southern Hemisphere, Queenstown! Combine spectacular scenery with heart-racing adventures and you're still nowhere near it. Options include the traditional bungy jump, zooming around canyons with the Shotover Jet, or more leisurely pursuits such as horse or mountain bike riding. Then again, perhaps you'd like to admire all from above whilst aboard the skyline gondola? The choice is yours. (B,D) (B)DAY 5 Queenstown to Fox Glacier. Your last chance for adventure awaits this morning, before we head out past Lakes Hawea and Wanaka to Makarora. Take in the gorgeous scenery of glaciers and lofty mountain ranges along the way - late this afternoon we'll get the chance to walk around Lake Matheson if the weather's clear, before arriving at our overnight destination. (B,D)DAY 6 Fox Glacier to West Coast (Greymouth). To really discover the beauty of the glacier and surrounding area up close, take on the optional half-day guided hike. Of course, you might prefer the optional heli-hike, which offers views from up high. We travel to the rugged natural beauty of the West Coast, visiting Hokitika and the local jade factory - maybe pick up a little souvenir? Finally tonight, we'll go on a guided tour of Monteith's Brewery, with a free sample included! (B,D)DAY 7 West Coast to Christchurch.
