Luxury Tour Fleet & Private Transport - South Island, New Zealand
Where the journey is as refined as the destination. Experience the South Island from the sanctuary of New Zealand’s highest-specification luxury vehicles
Our Premium Fleet: The Gold Standard in South Island Luxury
Travel is about more than the destination—it is about the sanctuary you enjoy between the icons of the South Island. At Canterbury Trails, we believe your vehicle should be a highlight of your journey, not just a means of transport.
We maintain an uncompromising commitment to safety, sustainability, and sophistication. Our fleet consists exclusively of late-model European vehicles, meticulously maintained and driven by professional guides who prioritize your comfort above all else.
The Crown Jewel: Our Custom-Built Mercedes Sprinters
While most tour operators use standard configurations, we have custom-engineered our Mercedes Sprinter fleet to provide a "Business Class" experience on the road.
Features include
Expansive Space: Configured as spacious 9-seaters (rather than the standard 12 or 15), offering significant legroom and personal space.
Individual Reclining Leather Seats: Every passenger enjoys a captain’s chair experience with premium leather finishes and adjustable positioning.
Panoramic Views: Large, tinted windows designed for unobstructed photography of the Southern Alps and Canterbury plains.
Climate & Quiet: Advanced climate control and superior soundproofing ensure a serene environment, regardless of the weather outside.
Latest Safety Technology: The fleet is packed with safety features to ensure your upmost safety, including 'Active Brake Assist', 'Crosswind Assist' and 360 degree camera monitoring.
Global Monitoring The vehicle instantly transmits GPS coordinates, the number of occupants, and vital vehicle health data to the Mercedes-Benz Global Monitoring Hub. This system ensures that even in the most remote corners of the South Island, your vehicle is under the watchful eye of a dedicated command center.
