A Longer Journey, Designed Around You
These private tours do not need to follow one fixed route. We can customise your journey around your starting point, final destination, available time and the places that interest you most.
Travel from Queenstown to Franz Josef or Fox Glacier, explore Invercargill and Bluff, or continue through the Catlins to Dunedin. Depending on your route, your tour can be arranged as a full-day return journey, a private scenic transfer or a relaxed multi-day experience.
Accommodation, scenic flights, glacier experiences, wildlife locations, museums and local food stops can also be added. We will help create a realistic itinerary that allows you to experience each region without feeling rushed.
