About operator:
Settle back in our luxury mini-coach and enjoy your day trip journey from Christchurch discovering the most amazing New Zealand locations. Be dazzled by ancient glaciers, towering mountains, high country mountain lakes & braided rivers. Or be delighted by sites from "Lord of the Rings" middle-earth before being transported back in time and enjoying a truly unique experience: a nostalgic, comfortable wagon ride pulled by some “gentle giants” (a team of Clydesdale horses) into the spectacular Aotearoa back-country highlands. 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. From greener than green farmlands to encountering New Zealand's highest mountain Aoraki Mt Cook in the UNESCO World Heritage Te Wahipounamu National Park, Maossie has a tour for everyone!
