Description

Join a small group of like-minded travelers and experience a guided, in-depth camping adventure that visits every corner of New Zealand's breathtaking South Island. This journey begins in the bustling capital city of Wellington, in New Zealand’s North Island - the perfect spot from which to launch this amazing 6-week adventure. Starting with a ferry ride into the picturesque Marlborough Sounds, this trip then zigzags through National Parks of native forest, turquoise waters and golden sandy beaches before crossing the world-famous Arthurs Pass and heading on to Akaroa, a cute harbourside village steeped in French history, culture and ambience. We then meander South through an array of iconic Kiwi landscapes – impossibly bright blue lakes and rivers surrounded by the high snowcapped peaks of the Southern Alps, quaint towns brimming with goldmining history, rugged coastlines and lonely lighthouses – before arriving in the scenic adventure capitals of Te Anau, Queenstown and Wanaka. And if that’s not enough, we still have time to visit New Zealand’s most famous glaciers, alpine hot pools, and whale and dolphin encounters.
