 This
tour passes some of the most impressive and beautiful areas of
New Zealand’s south island. The first day starts with an
amazing ride through the plain of Canterbury and along one of
the most beautiful roads in New Zealand. Arthur Pass is the highest
and most impressive highway over the Southern Alps! You’ll
see dense rain forest, steep slopes, strange rock formations,
snow-covered mountains, deep blue rivers, colossal valleys and
flat plains all within just 250 kilometres of each other!
 Once
on the west coast you’ll be amazed at how thousands of years
of rain, wind and saltwater have formed the Pancake Rocks and
the gigantic Blowholes at Punakaiki. Riding south you’ll
see the imposing Franz Joseph and Fox glacier and then ride over
the Alps via the beautiful Haast Pass. The road winds along steep
slopes with huge views over the glacier lakes Hawea and Wanaka
and down to the same named town.
The steep, twisty short cut via Cardrona is a good introduction
to the adrenaline capital of the world - Queenstown! Enjoy a “rest”
day to explore the area around Queenstown before you begin your
return journey to Christchurch along the inland road past Mt.
Cook. You wouldn’t imagine it possible to see this much
amazing scenery in just 6 days!
