Adrenalin Junkie Tour Tips:
Activities can also be purchased on the road – just let your tour guide know. We can\’t always guarantee availability when booking on the road, so we suggest pre-booking any activities you especially want to do.
As the tour starts early in the morning, you can opt to book accommodation in Christchurch with us the night before the tour – only having to walk downstairs on the day the tour starts makes for a stress-free morning!
The New Zealand adventure trip price includes dorm share accommodation (4–6 share) but if you would prefer your own space you have the option to upgrade to a private room. You can select this upgrade when you start building your tour online.
New Zealand adventure trip itinerary
Christchurch to MacKenzie Country
- We'll explore some creative ways Christchurch has rebuild itself before heading to the striking lakes and mountains of Tekapo. If you're a budding astro-photographer, tonight is your night!
MacKenzie Country to Queenstown
- You could start your day with a flight of a lifetime before we take a road trip to the place where you can seriously shred your bucket list - or at least shorten it.
Queenstown
- The Quintessential Queenstown Question: what're you going to do? Skydive! Bungy! Canyon swing! Milford Sound! Get into whatever adventure floats your jet-boat, for one of the most exciting days of this South Island adrenaline junkie tour. Then ask your guide the best place to eat.
Queenstown to Wanaka
- Crossing the mountains into Wanaka is a short but superb drive. Our Haka Tours Founder can personally recommend skydiving in Wanaka - it is how he arrived at his own wedding!
Wanaka to Franz Josef
- Take in more of Wanaka before we see more epic scenery on the way to the UNESCO World Heritage area famous for its spectacular glacier.
Franz Josef
