The West Coast Grande Tour
The West Coast Grand Tour package has been designed for discerning travelers who wish to experience true variety in the very best New Zealand’s South Island has to offer. Flexible travel packages combine up to two weeks luxury cruising aboard Galerna with a week in between enjoying fully-guided land travel in a luxury mini coach (self-drive is also available).
After sailing the delights of Golden Bay and Abel Tasman National Park, set off by road down the ruggedly picturesque West Coast, journeying far south to the famous World Heritage Fiordland National Park.
The West Coast is famous for its wild scenic wonders: Punakaiki’s wave-sculpted limestone, known as Pancake Rocks; two remarkable glaciers – Franz Josef and Fox – which snake from snowy alpine heights down into verdant green rainforests; and in Hokitika, exquisite Maori carvings in sacred pounamu (New Zealand jade).
Along the way, venture into the heart of the South Island’s backbone, the mighty Southern Alps. Your professional Kiwi guide will tailor all activities to your enjoyment and organise everything with respective operators. You will discover such gems as Lake Moeraki and Lake Wanaka; and greatest of all, fabulous Queenstown, adventure capital of the world.
Situated on the breathtakingly beautiful shores of Lake Wakatipu, beneath the aptly named Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown is New Zealand’s premier winter resort. Year round, whether you’re into skiing, snowboarding, jet-boating, white water-rafting, bungy-jumping, paragliding, parachuting, mountain-biking, horse trekking, salmon and trout fishing, scenic flights, historic steamboat sailings, world-class golf, visiting high country sheep stations, or a myriad other experiences, you will never ever forget the natural high that is Queenstown.
Your West Coast Grand Tour package is seamless, from when your plane touches down in New Zealand, to when you leave, with all costs inclusive. Everything about it is designed around your wishes, with itineraries and accommodation tailor-made after thorough pre-travel consultation. On land, as at sea, your total luxury and comfort are assured.
