||
| Day Hikes | ||
 Each
day we’ll hike around two to four miles on tracks we believe
to be the best in the South Island. Our guides have encyclopedic knowledge
of New Zealand’s natural history, vegetation and wildlife and
delight in sharing the many natural wonders of New Zealand with our
visitors. |
||
| Winery Tour | ||
 The
South Island of New Zealand is fast gaining a reputation for its wine.
The Wilson family planted Mount Maude vineyard in 1994 in the beautiful
Maungawera Valley near Wanaka. Dawn and Terry welcome us into their
home to taste some of the finest wines produced in the area. |

We board our luxury cruise vessel in the afternoon to begin our exploration of Milford Sound. In the evening you can sea kayak, hike, or simply relax on board the vessel and enjoy the majesty of this wonderful place. Cruising overnight gives us the chance to enjoy the fiord in peace, without the multitude of tourist boats. Glacier carved hanging valleys, thick native forest, spectacular waterfalls and sheer precipices tower over the fiord. 
This
is a wonderful glacier experience full of variety and interest.
The guide will lead you up the river bed, to a track which zigzags
uphill through ferns and regenerating temperate rainforest. From
high on the track, you enjoy fantastic view of the glacier. The
track then winds onto the ice, at which point you are outfitted
with instep crampons and follow steps cut by the guide. The route
takes you onto the ice amongst crevasses and ice ridges and leads
you into the middle of the glacier for spectacular view of the icefall
and lower glacier.
When
in Queenstown, you are invited for a meal on the 22 acre property
of the owners of Serious Fun New Zealand, Jon & Allison Imhoof.
Jon & Allison will welcome you into their home and give you
a chance to meet the faces behind the company.
