Packed full of highlights, this stunning tour includes mountain peaks, remote lake and valley systems and the splendor of Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring from high vantage points. The trip begins with a drive to the highland region of Lake Tekapo with the first night on the trail spent at a private backcountry hut with superb alpine and lakeside vistas.

Accommodation ranges from family-run motels and hotels  (3-4 star) to locally run lodge accommodation which are rich in character, clean and comfortable and run by hosts that help add to your experience. Most rooms are en suite however the heritage nature of these buildings, on occasion, means you may have to share a bathroom. Additionally two nights of the tour will be spent in a remote backcountry hut where you can experience the real New Zealand as you spend the night in spectacular scenery. The huts are fitted with bunk beds, kitchen, toilets (mostly outdoor) and communal area. You will be sharing rooms and facilities on these nights.

If you are traveling alone, the tour operator will arrange for you to share accommodation with another traveler of the same gender and if they cannot match you up they will provide a single room at no extra charge. If you prefer not to share, a single supplement is payable to guarantee your own room, however, these are limited to 2 per departure on a first-come, first-served basis.
