Begin in Christchurch, heading north to take in Canterbury, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth and other gorgeous locales. A combination of planned activities and free time allows you to customize your tour, which includes four nights of accommodation, transportation and some guided excursions.Discover the northern coast of the South Island, starting and ending in Christchurch with coastal train journeys that provide views of remote and scenic stretches of mountain and ocean. By coach, you'll see natural treasures throughout the lesser-known wine region around Nelson (near Marlborough) and the roads that lead to Greymouth, and you'll take two boat cruises, one for whale watching and the other in Abel Tasman National Park.

Your tour includes your choice of 3- or 4-star accommodation in either double or single rooms; meals are not included, allowing you the flexibility to choose when and where to eat. During longer day excursions, you'll have regular rest stops for meals and photo ops, plus time to explore on your own.
