New Zealand's South Island: 7-Day Self-Drive Tour with TranzAlpine Railway & Franz Josef Glacier & Milford Sound Scenic Flights

Incredible scenery, bespoke guided experiences and luxury accommodation: these experiences link the stretch of New Zealand between cosmopolitan Christchurch and the alpine beauty of Queenstown on this unparalleled seven-day self-drive journey of the spectacular South Island. Experience a road trip quite unlike anywhere else as you're enraptured by vistas of sweeping, exalted mountain ranges, mammoth lakes that sparkle liquid silver and grand swatches of ice.

In between the views and luxury stays at the five-star Hotel St Mortiz by MGallery in Queenstown, there's guided sightseeing in Christchurch's urban centre of graffiti-covered laneways filled with the aroma of coffee and architectural flair, a once-in-a-lifetime ride on one of the world's greatest scenic railway journeys — the TranzAlpine Railway — and scenic flights over Franz Josef and the majesty of Milford Sound. Whether you're pining for respite from city life or seeking new adventures, this tour offers a vast array of terrain ripe for exploration with five days of all-inclusive AWD car rental with GPS (subject to availability), a 4WD guided safari of Wanaka, a tranquil cruise of Lake Wanaka's glistening waters of Lake Wanaka and discovery on the hidden island of Moi Waho.
