Touring: France, Vietnam, & Bhutan |
Explore New Zealand’s South Island
for 10 days including five days on the Queen Charlotte
Track. Expect fantastic scenery, invigorating walks, quality
accommodation, a world famous train trip and good company.
This is a leisurely program that will appeal to those
who enjoy a good walk through pristine wilderness without
compromising on comforts! Our small group touring program
is limited to just eight guests.
The Queen Charlotte Track is one of the most beautiful
walks in New Zealand and it is to there that I will
be returning in March 2009.
However, our tour program will be far more than just
a ‘Short Walk in New Zealand’. We commence
with a glorious scenic flight from Wellington, over
the Cook Strait and the inlets, coves and islands that
make up the Marlborough Sounds.
We also focus on the delicious local cuisine, including
excellent seafood and fabulous Sauvignon Blancs of the
Marlborough region, while enjoying quality accommodation
throughout. At the end of our four day walk (with a
rest day in the middle) we will head off to the rugged
west coast of the South Island and spend a couple of
nights at Fox Glacier via the Punakaiki Rocks just north
of Greymouth.
As if this wasn’t a dazzling tour program already,
we will enjoy what many rail buffs the world over consider
to be one of the greatest one-day rail trips on earth,
the famous TranzAlpine, from Greymouth to Christchurch,
over the spectacular Southern Alps. If time is not the
issue, by all means extend your stay at the end of the
program and discover more of the clean, green magic
of New Zealand.
