Itineraries
Starting from Christchurch, we will take you on an adrenalin fueled South Island experience that is bursting with optional activities to get your blood pumping. We include two days in Queenstown to maximise the rush. It all starts at 8am at Haka Lodge Christchurch and ends around 5pm in Wellington.
We'll shout you a ride on the Queenstown Gondola, as well as a few surprise stops along the way.
As you build your tour online, you will see many optional activities available to add - but remember, none of these are compulsory. Not sure which activities to choose? No problem. Once you've paid a deposit and secured your seat you can add activities anytime until 30 days prior to departure.
Activities can also be purchased on the road - just let your tour guide know; he'll be happy to help. However, we can't always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest if there are any activities you definitely want to do, pre-book them.
As the tour starts early in the morning, you can opt to stay at Haka Lodge Christchurch the night before the tour - only having to walk downstairs on the day the tour starts makes for a stress free morning. Likewise, you can book an extra night at the Wellington YHA so you are not in a rush once we go our separate ways. We also offer the option of one-day bus transportation to Auckland, leaving the morning after the tour ends.
Upgrading your accommodation to a two person private room costs $829. The cost is per room, so if you share the room with someone else you can split the cost between you.
