Tour overview

Starting and finishing in Queenstown, this unforgettable journey begins with the spectacular Routeburn Track, a fully guided and supported four-day hike with Ultimate Hikes, featuring cosy lodge stays each evening. From Queenstown, travel north-west into the pristine Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage Area, where you'll explore the natural beauty of Lake Moeraki Wilderness Lodge and the dramatic West Coast glaciers. Continue north to board the iconic TranzAlpine Scenic Train to Christchurch.
