Discover the Deep South on a 5-day loop starting and finishing in Queenstown.
This package combines three of our one-way tours into a seamless journey
through Dunedin, Invercargill, Stewart Island, Te Anau and Milford Sound.

Travel in comfort by luxury coach, stay in quality hotels, and enjoy a mix of
unforgettable experiences: ride the Taieri Gorge Train, spend a full day on
Stewart Island with a visit to the Ulva Island bird sanctuary with RealNZ, and
cruise the spectacular Milford Sound with lunch included.

Please note: This is not one continuous group tour. You’ll join different
scheduled tours each day, so your fellow travellers may change along the way.
We take care of all the details—accommodation, transport, and activities—so
you can relax and enjoy New Zealand’s stunning Deep South.
