Itinerary of your trip Southern Spotlight (9 Days)

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

      Day 1: Christchurch

      Since its 2010/11 earthquakes, Christchurch has reinvented itself in more ways than one. Discover how when you step back in time aboard the Christchurch Tram tour, linking some of the cityโ€™s most legendary attractions. Expect quite the commentary โ€“ your conductors are a hoot.

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

      Day 2: Christchurch - Omarama

      Christchurch is not only rebuilding itself after the devastating 2010/11 earthquakes, but is changing the way architects think about design. Case in point the mind-bending Transitional Cathedral, made largely of cardboard, and Turanga, the gold-clad central library. After your Christchurch tour, your outlook is the Canterbury Plains: the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo, the quaint Church of the Good Shepherd, snow-capped mountains and atmospheric towns. If you wish (and you should wish) take it in on an optional scenic flight for added perspective of the Southern Alps and on to Franz Josef Glacier/Ka Roimata o Hine Hukatere.

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

      Day 3: Omarama - Dunedin

      If youโ€™ve ever wanted to see New Zealandโ€™s oldest public gardens, today youโ€™re in luck. Oamaru, with its stately tree-lined streets and limestone buildings, stands proud before you journey further south toward the Edinburgh of the South: Dunedin. Itโ€™s easy to while away the afternoon in the cityโ€™s atmospheric art-lined alleys. Or venture further afield to discover the wildlife that thrives in this pretty pocket of the country โ€“ fur seals and penguins among them. Thirsty? Visit Speights Brewery, a New Zealand institution.
