Trip Details:
New Zealand Fiordland Navigator Cruise, TranzAlpine Train & More – 9 days
Experience the many delights of the South Island on this spectacular New Zealand holiday!
Begin in picturesque Queenstown, famously known as the adventure capital of New Zealand. Then drive to Milford Sound to board charming Fiordland Navigator for a serene, old-worldly way to explore the stunning region. Cruise to the open sea aboard the three-masted sail boat with the nature guide and friendly crew and anchor for the night in sheltered Harrison Cove. Wildlife viewing opportunities and a special dinner are all part of the unforgettable experience.
After a magical cruise experience, jump back in the car and head to Franz Josef Glacier. Here you will have two nights to explore the pretty little town in the heart of the West Coast. Of course, the unmissable attraction is getting a view of the famous 12km long glacier.
Next is another spellbinding highlight aboard one of the world’s great rail journeys, the TranzAlpine Scenic Train. Travel in comfort across the South Island, from west to east, through Arthur’s Pass National Park and descend to the Canterbury Plains before arriving in Christchurch.
