• Kaikoura
• Wine Tasting
• Lunch

DAY 1

·      Picton – We depart this pretty port town and head down the coast to the seaside village of Kaikoura (the name Kaikoura literally means “eat crayfish”) The drive down the coast is beautifully rugged with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the mountains on the other, you will be spoiled for choice with stunning scenery on all sides. 

·      Kaikoura – The environment here is truly one of a kind! With the village surrounded by mountains and the sea, it really is where the magnificent mountains meet the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean. Plus in winter the mountain caps will be covered in snow, only adding to the drama of it all. We have the option of meeting the locals with Whale Watch, or even swimming with the dolphins! If you just want to take it easy, have a walk around the seaside, and take in the dramatic landscape. Make sure you visit some of the local shops, cafes and restaurants!

DAY 2

·      Kaikoura – We start the journey back to the Garden City. We stop along the way for lunch and a wine tasting, what a special way to end a wonderful two days! The drive back is full of rugged coastlines contrasted with the picture-perfect Canterbury Plains. 

·      Christchurch – We arrive back in the Garden City. Unfortunately, this is where we say our goodbyes and part ways. While you are here, make sure you check out the beautiful botanical gardens, and the rich history that the central city has to offer.
