Explore the highlights of New Zealand’s South Island on a mid-sized group tour, taking in striking mountain scenery and the natural wonder of Milford Sound.

This escorted tour is designed for curious travellers who appreciate comfort, striking landscapes and a well-paced itinerary. Journey through both iconic and off-the-beaten-path locations including Punakaiki, Invercargill and The Catlins, enjoy a stay in Queenstown, ride the world-renowned TranzAlpine Rail Journey and take in Mount Cook, the country’s highest peak. A highlight of the tour is an overnight cruise on the fiord of Milford Sound aboard the Milford Mariner, where you’ll cruise its full length with expert commentary, passing towering waterfalls, rainforest-covered cliffs and wildlife such as seals, dolphins and, at times, penguins. Travel in comfort with a fully escorted mid-size group of up to 32 travellers throughout this South Island journey.

Valid for travel September 2025 – May 2026
