South Island,
International,
New Zealand
Come join us in discovering and experiencing the intriguing history, culture, and breathtaking scenery of New Zealand's South Island during late summertime "down under." Over the course of two weeks our itinerary takes in the splendid scenic and cultural highlights of Queenstown, the Milford Track, Milford Sound, the Routeburn Track and Lake Wanaka. We have arranged comfortable well-located accommodations in each of these destinations. The trip's highlight is our trek along the Milford and Routeburn Tracks. Rudyard Kipling once described the Milford Track as "the finest walk in the world." We'll experience glaciated mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and lush forests. We will be accompanied by expert 'kiwi' guides who, besides leading the trek, will give us exceptional insight into New Zealand's unique culture, history, geology, flora and fauna. Rather than camping out or carrying sleeping bags and cooking equipment, we will have the benefit of well-appointed lodges and appetizing meals.
