South Island · 10 to 14 days · one way
Christchurch to Queenstown, by the lakes
- Christchurch: pick up the motorhome and stock up.
- Lake Tekapo: the turquoise lake and some of the darkest night skies in the world.
- Aoraki/Mount Cook: the flat Hooker Valley walk to a glacier lake, or a ski-plane landing on the snow.
- Wānaka: lakeside walks and a slower pace (about 2.5 hours from Mount Cook).
- Queenstown: the Earnslaw steamship, then a day to Milford Sound by coach or plane while the motorhome stays parked.
