Mount Cook to Christchurch Tour
4h50
About this activity
Enjoy the scenic route from Mount Cook to Christchurch; departing Aoraki Mount Cook National Park you'll travel down the western side of Lake Pukaki, which sits at the foot of New Zealand's tallest mountain, before the journey continues to Lake Tekapo. Visit the famous Church of the Good Shepherd, which stands in picturesque solitude on the foreshores of the lake and soak up views of the mountains and glacier lakes that make up this alpine region. Your one-way sightseeing tour continues, travelling through the NZ Southern Alps and down into rolling green valleys. Head to the small farming township of Geraldine for an afternoon tea stop (own expense) and glimpse the rich pastoral farmland of Canterbury Plains before continuing the journey to Christchurch. Known as 'The Garden City', Christchurch is where your tour concludes in the evening with a transfer to your hotel.

Not really a tour but courtesy drop off to our hotel.
Satisfied and good driver.
Not exactly a tour. More of a transfer service only. Were only given a short 15mins at Lake Tekapo. Check-in 10mins late and driver gave a scolding. We really didnt meant to be late. And well, it was still 5mins before departure time!
The scenery was stunning, but made all the more so, by the comfort and height of vision from the coach, and the amusing anecdotes, interesting commentary, and singing yes singing of the coach driver. The best way to do the journey with plenty of opportunity to take photos, stretch legs at the best possible places en route, and even a drop off at my hotel door in Christchurch.
