OUT AND ABOUT
Destination AOTEAROA
INTERNATIONAL ANTARCTIC CENTRE Antarctica is a land like no other, with deep blue seas, unique creatures and endless icy plains under starry skies. The International Antarctic Centre transports a slice of this astounding continent to Christchurch, with a range of immersive experiences that allow everyday visitors to see, touch, feel and fall in love with Antarctica. Brave an Antarctic storm, go off-road in a Hägglund, befriend a husky, mingle with the penguins, experience Antarctica from all four dimensions and leave with a head full of knowledge and a heart full of love and inspiration to take action. Just like the explorers before you.
WALTER PEAK FARM TOURS Nestled on the south-western shores of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, you will find the picturesque Walter Peak High Country Station. Travelling there on the iconic TSS Earnslaw vintage steamship is an experience in itself. The 45-minute journey is perfect for exploring the decks, engine room, viewing platform and onboard museum. Upon disembarking the TSS Earnslaw, watch the farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks and help feed the alpaca, sheep, deer and even get up close to the Scottish Highland cattle.
See it. Love it. Save it.
Enjoy a delicious homemade afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes and scones before cruising back to Queenstown.
