An opportunity of a lifetime to explore New Zealand’s wild West Coast and the adventure of skiing the South Island’s great ski fields!
Your tour begins with the romance of a train ride aboard the TranzAlpine Express as you are transported across the Southern Alps to the lush and rugged West Coast. As you travel southwards, the natural splendour of mountain scenery, the Franz Josef Glacier and Fiordland National Park await you, with your tour culminating in three days of brilliant skiing.
One of the advantages of travelling with a local guide through one of the most beautiful places in the world is that his/her local knowledge of the history and attractions ensures that you get to see and experience the very best that the area has to offer. Independent travellers miss so much and fail to take advantage of the activities and the beauty of the New Zealand’s South Island simply because there is no one to show them "what is out there”.
With just under a million people spread over 150,000 sq. km (an area approximately the size of England and Wales) there is plenty of room to find peace and solitude but also plenty of chances to miss certain highlights of this spectacular part of the world. Unique Trails has put together the "Southern Traverse Adventure Tour” to ensure you get to see and experience the very best that the South Island has to offer.
We will take you over high alpine passes surrounded by dense bush and high rugged peaks. You will find yourself in places that very few New Zealanders even get to see!!! You need to be of average fitness for this tour and need to live by the attitude "It is not what you do but the spirit in which you do it”.
