Traveler reviews
Long drive but worth seeing Mt Cook
Long drive but an interesting way to see New Zealand. Mt Cook was worth the ride. Only problem we had was sprinkling of rain and little windy while walking the trail. Beware it’s a long drive from Mt Cook to Christchurch with a stop to see the church which had beautiful view. Overall better than flying from Queenstown to Christchurch.
