Itinerary of your trip Southern Spectacular (10 Days)

  • Day 1 Day 1: Welcome To Christchurch
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Welcome To Christchurch

      At once forward-thinking and fun, Christchurch is the kind of city you could lose yourself in for a week โ€“ or more. You have this afternoon, so make the most of it. We recommend riding the rails on the vintage Christchurch Tram, a narrated hop-on, hop-off experience that loops around town, your energetic host pointing out historic architecture and new developments that have popped up since the 2010/2011 earthquakes. Freshen up because itโ€™s time to meet your fellow adventure-seekers over a couple of wines at a Welcome Reception.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Christchurch - Twizel
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Christchurch - Twizel

      If you didnโ€™t get your bearings yesterday, you certainly will on todayโ€™s Christchurch tour, taking in the cityโ€™s record-breaking Transitional Cathedral โ€“ who knew you could build a church from cardboard and not much else? โ€“ as well as past the gilded library, gleaming like an architectural beacon. The buildings of the city fade into a patchwork of farms as you ease across the Canterbury Plains toward Morelea. Here, Angie and Stan Taylor welcome you to their home with a slap-up Be My Guest afternoon tea and tales about life on the land. And this land is truly dramatic, backdropped by powdery mountains and cut with turquoise lakes, none quite as pretty as Lake Tekapo, on its banks the stone-hewn Church of the Good Shepherd. Itโ€™s like someone has taken the glasses off your nose and cleaned them for the first time.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Twizel - Dunedin
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Twizel - Dunedin

      More water awaits on day three, your journey following the Waitaki River to mighty Benmore Dam; it powers 300,000 New Zealand homes. Youโ€™re en route to the city of Dunedin, replete with rolling green meadows and grand stone castles. It kind of feels like youโ€™ve been transported to Scotland โ€“ small wonder itโ€™s known as the โ€˜Edinburgh of the Southโ€™. With this afternoon at your leisure, we recommend a cruise to spot penguins and fur seals along the Otago Peninsula, or perhaps a visit to Speightโ€™s Brewery โ€“ a New Zealand institution that makes everything from a fragrant Old Dark to a crisp Apple Cider. And pretty much everything in between. Thereโ€™s always that castle to exploreโ€ฆ Larnach may not have the history of Scotlandโ€™s grand estates, but itโ€™s just as pretty in our humble opinion. A NZ holiday must.
