Touch down in Christchurch and ease into your adventure with a scenic rail journey aboard the world-famous TranzAlpine. Wind through the Southern Alps to Greymouth, where the wild West Coast awaits. Head south to the spectacular Fox Glacier and soak up the raw beauty of this ancient ice formation. A private transfer whisks you through the stunning Haast Pass and lakeside Wānaka before arriving in Queenstown. Spend a day exploring this alpine playground at your own pace, whether it's adrenaline thrills or lakeside leisure. Then, retreat into nature with the unforgettable highlight of your journey: a luxurious stay at Waitai Lodge in remote Fiordland, where untouched wilderness meets refined comfort.
