Day 2: Greymouth
240 KM & 3h30

Aujourd’hui, une belle route de montagne nous mène vers Greymouth, où l’océan rencontre les Alpes du Sud. Nous passons le col d’Arthur’s Pass à 900 mètres d’altitude. Cette région est d’une beauté naturelle impressionnante, avec des paysages montagneux menant au bord du Pacifique où nous passerons la nuit.

Day 3: Haast

Now it's time to enter the wilderness. On our way to Haast, we'll traverse the lush rainforest of the west coast along wild beaches. If the weather is favorable, be prepared for incredible panoramas.

We leave the west coast, passing lakes and rivers, and stop in Cromwell, a region famous for its vineyards and fruits.

Day 5: Kingston

Get ready for an epic day. Crossing the Nevis Valley, where roaring mountains and tumultuous rivers will accompany us. We'll have 23 rivers and streams to cross in this remote valley. At the end of the day, we reach the peaceful town of Kingston, located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, where we will spend the night.

After a slight detour to the south of the island, we spend two nights in Te Anau, a way to rest and explore the jewel in the crown, Milford Sound.

Day 7: Te Anau / Milford Sound

Prenons notre temps pour explorer Milford Sound. Petites balades à pied le long des fjords ou profitons simplement du calme de la nature. Vous aurez l’occasion d’admirer les cascades spectaculaires, les majestueux fjords, et peut-être même d’apercevoir des dauphins lors d’une croisière (en option). C’est une journée dédiée à la découverte paisible de ce joyau de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le voyage, c’est aussi prendre le temps de s’imprégner.

Heading to Mount Cook/Aoraki. In Maori, "Aoraki" means "Pierced Cloud." It's the traditional Maori name for New Zealand's highest mountain, which stands over the Pacific Ocean at over 3700 meters. A short walk is planned to discover this national park, its glaciers, and this remarkable nature.

We skirt Lake Pukaki to reach the first stop of the day by the vast Lake Tekapo after crossing the beautiful valley of the same name.
