This is an illustrative 3-day alpine connection showing how a private journey flows. Every itinerary is fully customised.
Christchurch → Canterbury Plains → Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo → Lake Pukaki → Aoraki / Mount Cook
Skirt the dazzling turquoise edge of Lake Pukaki with panoramic views of Aoraki Mount Cook rising 3,724m above the Southern Alps. Spend the day walking the Hooker Valley Track, visiting the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre, or embarking on a scenic ski-plane flight over the Tasman Glacier.
Mount Cook → Lindis Pass → Queenstown
