Short on time but don't want to miss the best bits? This Classic South Island Adventure is your perfect shortcut — you'll love where this adventure takes you.

We’ve handpicked the South Island’s most breathtaking hikes, scenery, and experiences and wrapped them into one unforgettable adventure, from turquoise lakes and soaring peaks to hidden trails and New Zealand’s iconic Great Walks. Each day brings a unique experience, a new adventure, and a chance to see the South Island in ways very few experience. From flying into the remote Siberia Valley and hiking through Mt Aspiring National Park before jet boating out the same day, to taking in views of Aoraki/Mt Cook, walking part of the legendary Routeburn Track, cruising the world-renowned Milford Sound, and exploring the alpine town of Queenstown — it’s all part of our Classic South Island Adventure.
