    The Sweet As South Westbound tour starts in Christchurch at 08:00 AM on 19 March 2026. Because the departure is very early, we highly recommend booking a pre-night in Christchurch. An arrival at 9:00 AM on the same day would be too late for the tour start. If you miss the initial departure from Christchurch, you may need to make your own way to the next city to join the group, which we strongly advise avoiding.

    I'm currently experiencing a problem following my previous booking attempt with another agency, which was already full. A pre-authorization has been placed on my funds, which is temporarily affecting my ability to pay.

  We would like to make certain of the rooms. We would need a bit of privacy that dormitory style does not afford.
