WITH AN OPEN HEART AND MIND

21 Dec 2021 – 30 Jan 2022 (Guideline only)

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

All visitors to New Zealand need to be carrying a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure date. Many people will qualify for visa-free entry, but depending on your country of origin, some will need to apply for a visa before travelling. You can obtain visa requirements from the New Zealand Immigration Service – www.immigration.govt.nz

HOW TO CARE FOR NEW ZEALAND

HEALTH INSURANCE

New Zealand provides a high level of treatment in both public and private hospitals, but these services are not free except in the case of an accident whereby visitors are covered under the local Accident Compensation Scheme for personal injury. It is strongly recommended that you have your own private travel insurance.

DRIVING

A full New Zealand, Australian, English language or International Licence is required to hire most vehicles (and must be sighted at commencement of hire). Min. age 21 years. Motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road and operate right-hand drive vehicles. Wearing seatbelts is mandatory. Rental cars are not permitted on unsealed roads. We urge you to fully read your rental contracts before signing as conditions vary between companies.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST)

All goods and services in New Zealand are subject to a 15% Goods & Services Tax (GST) included in our prices. Visitors cannot claim a refund on this tax.

PRICING GUIDE

The prices featured in this brochure are intended as a guide only. The prices have been calculated using the lowest available daily price at the time the brochure was produced and may change due to exchange rate fluctuations, availability, taxes and seasonal surcharges. Ask your travel agent for the best price available, other room types or travel dates.

The New Zealand Book 2021 - 22 | Australian Dollars

CLIMATE

New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine. Winter temperatures (June to August) can range from 0° - 18° (32°F - 65°F) and summer temperatures (December to February) 9° - 26° (48°F - 79°F).

IMPORTANT

Travel insurance vs car insurance - personal travel insurance is a contract between the insurance company and YOU. It is NOT between the rental car company and the insurance company. Therefore you’ll need to negotiate a level of insurance cover with the car company and any claims will be deducted from your credit card. It’s then up to you to reclaim it from your travel insurance company if appropriate.

ACCOMMODATION

RATINGS

Star ratings are approx. only and intended to help you gauge the level and type most suited to your needs. Wherever possible we have used the New Zealand official Qualmark rating, which means properties have undergone a rigorous, independent assessment. As not all properties are Qualmark rated, we have tried to estimate an approx. star rating for the remainder. We stress that this is a guide only. We do not take any responsibility for a change in standards. It is also important that you recognise the difference between styles of accommodation eg. 5-star motels will not have the same level of services or facilities as 5-star hotels. Some properties have a range of styles making them difficult to categorise.

New Zealand's remote West Coast region contains some of the country's most dramatic scenery – wild coastlines, ancient glaciers, picturesque mountain ranges and lush native rainforest. Within the area's five national parks are an array of scenic highlights, including New Zealand's highest mountain, longest caves and famously the lowest and most accessible glaciers in the world, Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier. Early Māori named the area Te Tai O Poutini, meaning ‘The tides of Poutini', after the spiritual guardian of the prized pounamu (greenstone) found there in abundance. European settlers flocked to the West Coast during the gold rush of the late 1800s, but today it is one of New Zealand's most sparsely populated regions. West Coast Sightseeing tours depart daily year round to and from Queenstown and Greymouth via Wanaka, Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier with easy connection off or onto the TranzAlpine train through the Southern Alps.

FAREWELL SPIT TOURS This is your chance to visit one of New Zealand’s undiscovered gems. At 35 kms long and more protected than a National Park, public access to Farewell Spit is usually restricted to the first 4 kms, however this tour travels the full length of the spit aboard a robust 4WD vehicle.

Farewell Spit Eco Tour - Highlights includes Cape Farewell, the South Island’s most northerly point and home to seals and their pups. Fossil Point, where old fossils expose themselves among the rocks and sea life abounds in rock pools nearby. 30 km along the ocean beach is the lighthouse reserve, where we pause for 45 minutes or so to climb the lighthouse, check out the view, learn some of the Māori legends about the spit, have refreshments in our lighthouse Keeper's cottage and soak up some history. Returning from the lighthouse, we climb a sandhill for panoramic views of the ocean beach, the parade of dunes along the centre of the spit and the inter-tidal plain where the migrant waders from the arctic circle feed during our spring, summer and autumn. Farewell Spit truly is a naturelover’s paradise. Departing from Collingwood, tour duration is 6.5 hours. As you travel along the beach, actual departure times are dependent on the tides and will be advised on confirmation of booking. Note: As it is 2.5 hours drive from Nelson to Collingwood, we recommend over-nighting in Takaka pre or post this tour. Other tour options available on request.

DAY TOURS

MILFORD SOUND Milford Sound Cruise

Take the time to enjoy the best of Milford Sound with this leisurely cruise aboard purpose built Fiordland specific boats. Exploring the length of the fiord you’ll learn about the history of the region and benefit from the knowledge of your specialist nature guide. Experience the cool spray of a waterfall as you move in close to sheer rock faces or watch out for dolphins, seals and, in season, the rare Fiordland crested penguins. Experienced skippers tailor the cruise to take into consideration weather and recent wildlife sightings, ensuring you’ll see the best that Milford Sound has to offer on the day. Informative, participative and relaxed, this is the perfect way to experience what’s been called the “eighth wonder of the world” Departs: Milford Wharf 8.45am returning 10.45am (21 Dec – 09 Apr), 10.30am returning 12.30pm (12 Oct – 30 Sep), 1pm returning 3pm (12 Oct – 30 Sep), 3pm retuning 5pm (23 Dec – 28 Feb). Coach transfers available from Te Anau & Queenstown (extra cost). Note for those requiring a Seasonal Packed Lunch box, it must be prebooked. This lunch is only available from Dec – Apr.

FULL DAY DOUBTFUL SOUND WILDERNESS CRUISE Doubtful Sound is a beautiful fiord; three times longer than Milford Sound, with twisting arms, it has a surface area ten times larger. With its rugged peaks, verdant rainforest and twisting, hidden inlets, Doubtful Sound will take your breath away. There’s no direct road access, so the only way you can to get to Doubtful Sound is a cruise across the picturesque Lake Manapouri, followed by a bus trip over Wilmot Pass - New Zealand's most expensive (and majestic) road. We’ll pause along the way to experience the dense Fiordland rainforest and view Doubtful Sound glistening below. This isolation makes this fiord a very special place, only those in the know get to see.

Milford Sound Fly, Cruise and Return Flight

For awe-inspiring views of the fiord, mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes and lush rainforest, nothing compares with a 40-minute scenic flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound. On arrival in Milford, passengers are transferred to a Real Journeys vessel for a 1hr 40min cruise on the entire length of the fiord. Includes full commentary on flight and cruise and return accommodation transfers (commencing 45 minutes prior to departure). Perfect for those who are short of time or want to avoid the full day normally required to visit Milford Sound. Departs: 12pm returning 4.40pm (12 Oct – 02 May) Note: Flights operate subject to weather.

Once you arrive, you will board the Fiordland Navigator for a 3 hour (approximately) cruise on Doubtful Sound - a spectacular pristine fiord. During the cruise our knowledgeable and friendly nature guides will share with you their passion for the region. They’re always ready to answer questions, point out landmarks and provide all the information about the varied wildlife you may see, including dolphins, fur seals and the rare Fiordland crested penguin. The M.V. Sinbad or Patea may replace the Fiordland Navigator if maintenance or schedules require. Tip: ANZCRO highly recommends you do both the Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound tours. While you cannot beat the drive to Milford, the Doubtful Sound cruise is truly awesome. Departs: Pearl Harbour, Manapouri 10am returning 5.15pm (12 Oct – 30 Sep). Coach transfers available from Queenstown (extra cost). Note for those requiring a Seasonal Packed Lunch box, it must be prebooked. This lunch is only available from Dec – Apr.

MILFORD SOUND OVERNIGHT CRUISE

OVERNIGHT CRUISES

When the day visitors depart a silence descends on Milford Sound. Be one of the privileged few to experience the long southern twilight and the dawning of a new day in this magnificent World Heritage region. You’ll start by departing from the Milford Sound wharf in the late afternoon before cruising through Milford Sound accompanied by our specialist nature guide. They’ll explain the history and geology of the area and be on hand to answer your questions. This cruise style is relaxed, allowing plenty of time to view the fiord’s spectacular waterfalls, rainforest, mountains and wildlife – you’re bound to encounter seals and, if you’re lucky, maybe dolphins and penguins too. The Milford Mariner then anchors in a sheltered cove. From here you can join the guide and explore in the vessel’s tender craft (small boat) or kayaks. If you prefer, you can simply relax on deck and soak in the beauty of this amazing place. If you’re feeling brave there’s always the option of a refreshing swim too. All activities are weather dependent. As evening falls, you’ll enjoy a delicious carvery buffet in the dining saloon – a feast prepared freshly by our on-site chef. Then it’s time to relax in the company of your fellow traveller, indulge in some star-gazing and story-sharing or simply retire to your private cabin. The next day you’ll be able to dig into a hearty breakfast before heading back out to the Tasman Sea (weather permitting) and exploring more of the fiord.

Milford Mariner: Purpose-built and designed along the lines of a traditional New Zealand coastal trading

scow with gaff-rigged sails, the Mariner is ideal for those who enjoy comfort combined with activity. The vessel sleeps 60 guests in private twin/double cabins with ensuite bathrooms. There’s plenty of room to observe the incredible scenery, either from the spacious decks or from the comfort of the observation lounge. Or go exploring in one of the 30 kayaks or two tender crafts.

Doubtful Sound is unspoiled, unmatched and unforgettable. So get ready to create some lifelong memories as the Fiordland Navigator takes you through the ultimate Doubtful Sound experience.

Includes: A three-course buffet dinner and full cooked and continental buffet breakfast. Departs: Daily from 4.30pm, Returns 9.30am the next day

TEMPERATURES IN FIORDLAND

Whilst not extreme, many people consider the Milford and/or Routeburn Tracks to be a personal challenge. The terrain is often steep and the track surface can vary from flat and maintained, to rocky and even flooded at times. A moderate level of fitness is recommended to ensure that you are able to fully enjoy these walks. If you are not a regular walker, we suggest you begin a regime 6 to 8 weeks before departure, gradually increasing the distance and adding some hills into your training circuit. The weather in Fiordland can be very unpredictable. Please adhere to our recommended equipment list and be prepared for every eventuality, as it is not uncommon to experience snow in the middle of summer.

Summer months: Dec - Apr in Fiordland offers the warmest days between 10 - 18°C.

DAY 1: Clyde to Alexandra - Distance: 8- 15kms Your adventure starts in Queenstown where you will be picked up from your accommodation and brought to our Clyde Depot. Here you will be fitted on your bikes, briefed about your tour and start the ride to Lauder. Between Clyde and Alexandra, the trail takes you past vineyards and over an old wooden trestle bridge. For the more adventurous, there is the option of riding on the River Track to Alexandra, along the banks of the Clutha River / Mata Au. The River Track adds 7km to your ride, but it is well worth it if time and energy allow. If you wish to explore further, the Roxburgh Gorge Trail follows the river into the gorge for 10km to Doctors Point.

DAY 2: Alexandra to Omakau - Distance: 28 kms

DAY 3: Omakau to Wedderburn - Distance: 42 kms From Omakau, cycle to Lauder and the start of one of the most spectacular sections of the trail. The Poolburn Gorge, home to the rare New Zealand falcon, features tunnels and viaducts in a secluded rocky setting. The gorge then opens out to the vast expanse of the Ida Valley, made famous by the paintings of Graham Sydney. Oturehua is an interesting settlement with the old Gilchrist’s Store and the Oturehua Tavern. Other attractions include the historic Hayes Engineering Works & Homestead, and the remains of the Golden Progress Mine which is just north of Oturehua. The trail then takes you through Wedderburn and onto your accommodation at Wedderburn. Later that afternoon, you will be picked up and taken for a tour around the historic township of Naseby as well as trying your hand at curling. For your evening meal, the Wedderburn Tavern is just a short walk from your accommodation.

DAY 4: Wedderburn to Hyde - Distance: 46 kms From Wedderburn, the trail is mostly downhill to Ranfurly, the Art Deco capital of Otago. Perhaps a stop here for morning tea before crossing the Maniototo Plains to a lunch stop at the Waipiata Tavern. The afternoon’s highlights are between Daisybank and Hyde where the trail runs alongside the Taieri River over the Capburn and Prices Creek Bridges and through the last tunnel before arriving at your accommodation.

DAY 5: Hyde to Middlemarch - Distance: 27 kms The trail from Hyde passes the site of the 1943 Hyde Rail disaster and on through the wide-open spaces of the Strath Taieri. The end of the trail is at our Middlemarch Depot where you can have a shower, if you wish, before the transfer to Dunedin by shuttle. Transport back to Queenstown by bus can also be arranged instead of taking the shuttle to Dunedin.

From Alexandra, the trail heads out to Chatto Creek where the tavern serves an excellent lunch and is a recommended stop before cycling up Tiger Hill. The gradient is easy, and then it is downhill to your overnight accommodation in Omakau. We suggest riding the 5km loop to Ophir. Ophir is an interesting settlement with historic buildings and the Daniel O’Connell suspension bridge, as well as places for a coffee or a drink.
