Touring Across The Tasman

I recently returned from an incredible 9-day / 8-night Southern Tourer of New Zealand with APT, travelling in a loop from Christchurch to Christchurch—and what a journey it was! One of the standout moments was our stay at The Hermitage Hotel in Mt Cook, where the views were breathtaking and the stargazing was unforgettable.

A helicopter flight and glacier landing on the Tasman Glacier was a true bucket-list experience, offering a surreal glimpse into New Zealand’s beauty. Everywhere we went, the scenery was simply spectacular. My favourite stop was Queenstown—a stunning lakeside town bursting with adventure, natural beauty, and endless things to do. From dramatic landscapes to unforgettable moments, this trip was packed with highlights I’ll never forget.
