Starting in Auckland and ending in Christchurch, this 8 day tour encompasses all that the 6 Day North Island Experience offers, with an additional 2 days of South Island highlights. You will cross the Cook Strait and cruise the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, before visiting some of the best wineries in the world! Travel through Kaikoura and Hanmer Springs before reaching the ‘Garden City’ of Christchurch, with so much to see and experience. This truly is a delightful taste of New Zealand that will provide many memorable moments.
