Canterbury locals can now explore our unique province with a BOUTIQUE tour from Canterbury Trails.

Canterbury Trails specialises in consulting with guests and agents to design and guide tailor made private tours of New Zealand’s South Island. Using our knowledge and expertise to make the most of your time these custom tours are for the inquisitive and discerning traveller who wants to experience the real New Zealand.

Canterbury Trails offer guided, small group tours of New Zealand including the West Coast, Queenstown and Fiordland regions, North Island and top of the South Island. Highlights of your tour will include: Arthur’s Pass National Park, Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, West Coast rainforest, Queenstown and Milford Sound.

Daily departures include Akaroa Harbour Cruise, Akaroa Dolphin Swim, TranzAlpine Train, Kaikoura Whale Watch, Heliski Day Tour and The Garden City Tour

Guests often comment that a day is not long enough to do the Akaroa, Arthur’s Pass and Kaikoura areas justice. We have, therefore, introduced some two and three-day Canterbury tour options. This means you can really experience the South Islands magnificent mountains, parks, lakes and coastline, its amazing marine life, flora and fauna, local and Maori culture as well as some of New Zealand’s best food and wine.
