After you’ve completed your tour of the North, the South awaits. We can schedule matches for your team to get in some outstanding game play or you can just relax and enjoy your chance to experience the beauty of New Zealand. This tour can also be scheduled in reverse.

Day 1 - Christchurch

Arrive Christchurch. We have time to relax and unwind in Christchurch (known as the Garden City). You could be forgiven for thinking you were in England! Nostalgia influenced early immigrant city planners - Christchurch was built with England in mind. Explore one of the many beautiful gardens, parks, or the Gothic style Art Centre, the Arts and culture heart of Christchurch. You could take a trip out to the French seaside settlement of Akaroa, visit the ‘Cardboard Cathedral’ or the Antarctic Centre, or just relax while punting down the Avon River which runs through the heart of Christchurch. Another option is the tramway if you would like to explore the city in heritage style which combines history and sightseeing. Check into your Accommodation.

Day 2 - Christchurch - Game/Coaching

Today provides the opportunity for another relaxing and sightseeing day.

Or we can arrange a day of Elite Coaching with the Crusaders International High Performance Unit in the home of the most successful Super Rugby Franchise in the history of the competition.

So you choose to either relax or train prior to our afternoon game against the challenging Cantabrians!

Day 3 - Christchurch - Mount Cook - Omarama  

Expect to be impressed by the ever-changing landscape of New Zealand’s South Island!  See expansive and fertile river plains of the Canterbury Plains, high country farmland and sub alpine landscapes of the McKenzie Pass. Take in the iridescent blues of the glacier fed lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. Most impressive however, are views of the Southern Alps and Mt Cook Aoraki, New Zealand’s highest peak. Along the way, we stop at points of interest including the Church of the Good Shepherd with its wonderful stained-glass windows framing a majestic view of the mountains. 
We visit Mt Cook township, where the opportunity is yours to take an optional scenic flight of the Southern Alps and Mt Cook itself and the glaciers.

Day 4 - Omarama - Dunedin - Game

This morning we travel beside Lake Benmore and view New Zealand’s largest Hydro Dam. We continue out towards the East coast where we have the opportunity to view the unusual Moeraki Boulders, which look like giant marbles on the beach.  Debate continues as to how these formations came to be, their symmetry amazes even the most accomplished geologist. 

We continue traveling south through lush dairy and sheep farms of Southland before we arrive in Dunedin the ‘Edinburgh of the South’, which becomes evident as we take a tour of the city. What about a walk up the steepest street in the world before arriving at our hotel. Like Christchurch is to England, Dunedin is to Scotland!  Don’t be surprised if you see or hear a bagpiper wandering through the streets tonight. Otago Rugby is one of the toughest in the country, we can arrange a game today if you’d like to test it out!

Day 5 - Dunedin - Queenstown

We farewell Dunedin. and travel out into the lush sheep grazing pastures of Otago and Southland, to Queenstown, truly one of the most picturesque settings in the world.

Day 6 - Queenstown at Leisure

For those with a daredevil approach to life there’s the world’s first Bungy jump site, or many more adrenalin pumping activities. Maybe a lazy day fishing for Trout or Salmon or just relax in a café after shopping. Head out across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak Station aboard the ‘TSS Earnslaw’ steamship for morning tea or afternoon tea on a working sheep station. There is always plenty to see, hear and experience in Queenstown… you'll never want to leave, and you will never run out of places to explore!
