New Zealand Tours from Christchurch

Share

If you think of New Zealand’s South Island, it often feels like a series of small towns set between lakes and steep mountain ranges. Rakaia Gorge is known for its fast, blue water, while Mt Difficulty Vineyard sits among the vineyards of Central Otago. Milford Sound is shaped by sheer cliffs and waterfalls, Queenstown has a livelier feel, and Franz Josef Glacier brings a colder, high-alpine edge to the landscape.
