About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour covers a variety of landscapes on New Zealand’s South Island over 14 nights. Starting in Christchurch, the trip moves west to Franz Josef, known for its glacier and surrounding rainforest. Time here allows for hiking and quiet moments amid tall trees. Then it’s on to the coast with Abel Tasman National Park, where sea kayaking along clearest waters contrasts with gentle trails through native bush.

The adventure continues southward, with a day spent hiking part of the Routeburn Track, a well-regarded alpine route with sweeping views of hanging valleys and waterfalls. Milford Sound, a fjord carved by glaciers, offers a boat cruise — a chance to watch waterfalls spill into the dark waters. The journey includes cycling near Wanaka, at the foot of Mount Aspiring, and walks in the Mount Cook region, punctuated by mountain peaks and clear air that can take some catching your breath.

Accommodation is twin-share in a mixture of hotels and hostels, with an emphasis on comfort after busy days spent on foot, kayak, or bike. The tour’s pace suits travellers prepared to be active and curious about the varied terrain and quiet moments in New Zealand’s less trodden corners.
