executive
summary by darmansjah
Embark on this seven-day road trip across the South Island
– starting from cosmopolitan Christchurch, cruising across the beautiful lake
regions of Tekapo and Wanaka, passing by bustling Queenstown for your adventure fix and
finally seafood feasts in Kaikora.
CHRISTCHURCH Best
for wine; Dusting off the remnants of recent earthquakes, the buzz is back in
South Island’s gateway to the rest of New Zealand and the world. The newly
refurbished International Airport makes Christchurch a great starting point for
your self-drive.
QUEENSTOWN Best
for adventures; Cruising along the gorgeous Lake Wakatipu and into the alpine region of Queenstown, this is
where actor John Travolta once commented, ‘Oh my God – this is where God
lives’.
WANAKA Best fro
river journeys; Quieter but still equipped with proper tourist facilities,
Wanaka boasts a dramatic history of glaciers dating back to the ice age, and
choice locations picked for the Lord of
the Rings trilogy.
TEKAPO Best for
picture perfect reflection; Lying in the heart of the Mackenzie country, lake Tekapo ists as the area’s crown
jewel, shining in different splendors between day to night. Mt John also gives
you a chance t shoot some stars, literally, at its Observatory.
KAIKOURA Best for
whale watching; Fringed by a range of snow capped mountains, giant sperm
whales, blue whales, seals and dolphins up the fun factor in the deep tranches
off the kaikoura coast.
