The historic port of Lyttelton serves as the gateway to Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand’s South Island. Traditionally considered the most English of New Zealand’s cities, there is much to explore in vibrant Christchurch, from its neo-Gothic stone buildings and beautiful botanical gardens, to its picturesque Avon River lined by graceful willows. Further afar, the Canterbury Plains, snow-capped Southern Alps and numerous rivers beckon with their enchanting beauty and wildlife.
DAY 02 – KAIKOURA, NEW ZEALAND
MORNING
KAIKOURA, NEW ZEALAND
Tucked between the majestic Kaikoura Mountains and the glistening Pacific Ocean, this picture-postcard town on New Zealand’s South Island is renowned for marine life encounters, beach walks and diving into plates of crayfish.

DAY 03 – SHIP COVE/QUEEN CHARLOTTE SOUND
MORNING
SHIP COVE/QUEEN CHARLOTTE SOUND, NEW ZEALAND
Emerald rolling hills are the backdrop for Ship Cove, an unspoiled stretch of beaches and sparkling azure waters tucked within the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island. Echoing the stunning scenery is Motuara, an island sitting midway between the cove and Queen Charlotte Sound. In 1770 British explorer James Cook visited this area and named it Ship Cove, as commemorated by the Cook monument that sits on its shores. Seabirds, dolphins and fur seals are among possible wildlife sightings in the area.

This mostly undiscovered eco-tourism gem is home to golden beaches, sparkling bays and lushly forested hills, providing the perfect setting for nature hikes and wildlife sightings. Across from Golden Bay sits Ulva Island, an unspoiled haven for birds — and bird watchers — where colorful parakeets and parrots fly about the forest canopy. Kiwis, wekas, saddlebacks and yellowheads also call this sanctuary home.
DAY 06 – DUSKY SOUND, NEW ZEALAND
MORNING
DUSKY SOUND, NEW ZEALAND
In the 18th century, on his second expedition, British navigator James Cook spent several weeks exploring Dusky Sound.

MORNING
MILFORD SOUND, NEW ZEALAND
Majestic peaks reaching toward the sky and white-plumed waterfalls cascading down forested cliffs into pristine waters make Milford Sound the undisputed jewel of New Zealand’s World Heritage-listed Fiordland National Park.

Situated on New South Wales’ Sapphire Coast, the picturesque Australian town is a gateway to stunning beaches, forested hills, lakes, nature trails and national parks. The sparkling waters of Eden’s Twofold Bay are known as the Humpback Highway owing to the large number of whales that pass through during their migration between Antarctica and the Coral Sea.

Set within the turquoise waters of the Tasman Sea, Maria Island hosts an idyllic national park and jaw-dropping painted cliffs. The mountainous island, formerly a penal colony, became known as Tasmania’s Noah’s Ark in the 1960s when it welcomed a number of imperiled Australian species needing protection. More than 125 bird species are found here, including emus and endangered swift parrots and forty-spotted pardalotes. Its diverse wildlife also includes bare-nosed wombats, eastern grey kangaroos, red-necked wallabies and ring-tailed possums.

MORNING
BRUNY ISLAND, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA
Renowned for its rugged natural beauty, Australia’s Bruny Island is a hot spot for nature lovers and history enthusiasts.
