A spectacular three day tour from Queenstown to Christchurch with a day at the West Coast glaciers. Day 1 Queenstown - Glaciers Leaving Queenstown, travel with InterCity Coachlines to the West Coast passing through Cromwell, Wanaka and Hawea before climbing over the Haast Pass into the Westland National Park. The Haast Pass is our southern most Pass that traverses the Southern Alps linking the east coast with the west coast. Stay overnight at either Fox Glacier or Franz Josef Glacier. Day 2 Franz Josef Today, a guided walk which accesses the rugged terminal ice face of the Franz Josef glacier. You spend 1.5 hours exploring the lower glacier. Enjoy a fascinating commentary on the history and geology of the area. The rest of the day is free for optional activities which may include scenic flights up to the glaciers, short walks into the native rainforest or a visit to the Westland National Park Visitor Centre. Day 3 Glaciers - Christchurch Travel north with InterCity Coachlines through lush rainforests and spectacular scenery to Greymouth where we transfer on to the world famous TranzAlpine train. A remarkable journey of little more than four hours from the west coast to the east coast including the lush rainforest of the Arthur's Pass National Park. Pass through the Southern Alps via the Otira Tunnel, cross massive viaducts over the Waimakariri Gorge descending to the fertile farmlands of the Canterbury Plains and on to the garden city of Christchurch.
