New Zealand's South Island: 7-Day Luxury Small-Group Tour with TranzAlpine Train Journey, Franz Josef Helicopter Ride & Milford Sound Scenic Flight
A whole world of natural wonder beckons on New Zealand’s South Island — and this exceptional small-group tour (max. 16 travellers) leaves no stone unturned. Experience the magical atmosphere of Christchurch, hailed as the ‘Garden City’, before boarding the world-famous TranzAlpine train. Traverse rugged landscapes over the course of this five-hour journey, taking in the thrilling vistas as you pass the Waimakariri River, weave through deep gorges and descend native beech forest to arrive in Greymouth. From here, continue to the welcoming town of Franz Josef. Reach new heights in a helicopter, as you soar above Franz Josef and Fox Glacier to witness piercing blue ice formations. Land on a glacier and take the chance to step onto the icy terrain and breathe the fresh alpine air. The next stop will take you to the world’s action capital, Queenstown, where you’ll be treated to a scenic flight over Milford Sound, followed by a memorable nature cruise, and a half-day e-bike guided cycling tour through the surrounding trails of nearby Arrowtown.
