Be dazzled by ancient glaciers, towering mountains, high country mountain lakes & braided rivers.

Or be delighted by exploring the “real New Zealand”: experiencing an iconic high-country sheep station, or touring Canterbury farmlands on a trip to some really interesting rural properties – all set against the backdrop of the breath-taking scenery of the Southern Alps.
