Description:

Immerse yourself in the beauty of New Zealand's snow-capped mountains, glacier lakes, and glorious gardens on this day tour to Queenstown. Visit Lake Tekapo, stop for lunch at the base of soaring Aoraki/Mount Cook, and pass through a vineyard-filled countryside.

Leave Christchurch behind you; get picked up from your hotel in a luxury air-conditioned coach and head to the Canterbury Plains, a region known for its abundant vineyards, glacier lakes, and natural thermal pools. Head toward the untouched waters of Lake Tekapo. Stop and admire the views of the cloud-piercing mountaintops of the Southern Alps across the lake.

Then stop at Mount Cook Village, with Aoraki/Mount Cook—the highest mountain in New Zealand—as your backdrop. Spend time to take a break and deeply breathe in the crisp mountain air. If you feel adventurous, take a flightseeing tour (own expense) and encounter dramatic alpine and glacier scenery from a bird's-eye view.

In the afternoon, your driver takes you south through the fruit-growing region of Cromwell before joining with Lindis Pass, one of the highest roads in New Zealand. Take time to see the tussock-covered mountains from your window.

Once arriving at Queenstown, you're dropped off at your hotel, where you can freshen up before you set off to explore the town.
