FEATURED TOUR
Aoraki/Mt Cook, Tasman Glacier & Alpine Centre all-inclusive all-day scenic tour from Christchurch (or Geraldine)
Wear out your camera at Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki and the Southern Alps!
After a brief stopover for morning tea at the quaint rural township of Geraldine (also an alternate pick-up location), the tour proceeds into the Southern Alps for a photo-stop at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo. As the journey proceeds it follows alongside the turquoise blue of Lake Pukaki which proudly shows off New Zealand’s tallest peak, Aoraki/ Mount Cook from the many look out points around its shores.
Included side trip to the Tasman Glacier
The Tasman Glacier is a side trip involving a short journey in the Maossie coach into the Tasman Valley where a small amount of walking to get the best vantage points for photography applies. Alternatively, you can elect to remain behind and spend more time at the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre, before being picked up later for return journey to Christchurch.
