Queenstown - New Zealand

5-Day Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Queenstown Welcomes You

Airport pickup, explore Queenstown

Queenstown is just a small town with a population of around 13,000, but it is the most famous tourism hub on the South Island.

Guests will enjoy dinner and rest, preparing for the journey to explore the South Island.

Day 2: Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki - Mount Cook

Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki are famous attractions on the South Island, with mystical blue waters like emerald gems surrounded by the snow-capped mountains of Mount Cook, rising over 3,200m and covered in snow year-round.

Lake Pukaki and Mount Cook are important filming locations for The Lord of the Rings film series and the prequel "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"

Especially from November to January, the Lupin flowers bloom across the fields along the lakeside, creating a magical fairytale-like landscape.

Day 3: Te Anau - Milford Sound

Explore caves inhabited by glowworms found only in New Zealand.

Visit waterfalls and experience a scenic route through the mountainous region known as the "land of a thousand waterfalls."

Day 4: Milford Sound - Queenstown

Enjoy a cruise through the fjords of Milford Sound and witness one of the world’s natural wonders, where majestic waterfalls cascade directly into the ocean. A magical landscape that seems to exist only in films, now experienced with your own eyes.

Untouched waters where seals casually swim and whales play near the bow of the boat.

Return to Queenstown for rest and explore Queenstown.

Day 5: Queenstown Farewell

Enjoy a cup of tea or hot coffee amidst the mountains and forests of this untouched and pristine land. Say goodbye with a lingering sense of nostalgia and regret.

Airport transfer and farewell, taking with you a heart full of memories of New Zealand’s South Island and Queenstown.
