Christchurch a Mt Cook (1 ida) (Grupo pequeño)
Descripción
El Aoraki Mt Cook, situado a 3724 metros, es el pico más alto de Nueva Zelanda. Como un ancestro sagrado para el iwi Ngā Tahu local, Aoraki es más que una montaña. La historia de él y sus hermanos es posiblemente una de las leyendas maoríes más importantes de la Isla Sur, hablando de la dramática formación de Kā Tiritiri o te Moana (Alpes del Sur), que desde entonces se han convertido en el hogar de uno de los parques nacionales más hermosos de Aotearoa. Así que, ¿por qué no te unes a nosotros mientras viajamos hacia el sur para experimentar lo mejor de lo que la Isla Sur tiene para ofrecer? Escapando del bullicio de Ōtautahi Christchurch, este viaje de ida se aventura a través de las llanuras de Canterbury, la carretera estatal 79, la famosa Fairlie Bakehouse, el lago Tekapo y el lago Pukaki antes de llegar a Aoraki Mt Cook Village. Conducirás cómodamente con nuestro Mercedes Sprinter moderno y cómodo (o similar) lleno de extras para hacer el viaje un poco más fácil. Liderado por nuestros guías turísticos divertidos, expertos y apasionados, este viaje es uno que nunca olvidará.

Itinerario
Comenzamos saliendo de Ōtautahi Christchurch, también conocida como la Ciudad Jardín de Nueva Zelanda. A medida que nos dirigimos hacia el sur, nuestro guía experto señalará algunos de los aspectos más destacados de la ciudad central.
Viajando a través del puente de Rakaia y hacia el interior hacia mediados de Canterbury, notará tanto el ecosistema fluvial trenzado único de la región como los campos de mosaico. Las granjas en las llanuras son el hogar de una variedad de actividades, incluyendo el cultivo de cultivos, la viticultura, la ganadería y la ganadería.
Ubicada en el encantador municipio agrícola de Fairlie, esta parada siempre es popular entre los huéspedes. Es especialmente impresionante en otoño, ya que los árboles que bordean las calles y Burkes Pass se vuelven de un color naranja vibrante. Es aquí donde se puede disfrutar de un famoso pastel Fairlie Bakehouse. ¡El favorito de nuestro equipo es el clásico filete con queso!
A continuación pararemos en el lago Tekapo. Rodeado por los Alpes del Sur y el paisaje característico del distrito de Mackenzie, será recibido con vistas panorámicas. Desde finales de noviembre hasta principios de enero, la famosa orilla del lago está adornada con racimos de altramuces salvajes. Mientras estamos aquí, nos detendremos en uno de los lugares más fotografiados de Nueva Zelanda; la Iglesia del Buen Pastor.
Nuestra última parada antes de llegar al Parque Nacional Aoraki Mt Cook es el Lago Pukaki. Con sus colores cambiantes que van del hielo al azul intenso dependiendo del clima, este lago de alimentación glaciar se destaca de otros lagos alpinos de la región. En días despejados, disfrute de vistas ininterrumpidas de Aoraki que se eleva desde el borde del lago.
Bienvenido al Parque Nacional Aoraki Mt Cook! Una vez que llegue, tiene la opción de embarcarse en la pista del mirador del glaciar Tasman o explorar el pueblo del Monte Cook, teniendo en cuenta lugares de interés como el Centro de Visitantes y el Centro Alpino Sir Edmund Hillary. Alternativamente, si prefiere una vista aérea, podemos organizar un vuelo panorámico para usted y su grupo (reservado y vendido por separado). Pista del mirador del glaciar Tasman - Conduciendo a través de las antiguas morrenas terminales de Haupapa, esta pista ofrece increíbles vistas del glaciar, el río circundante y el lago Tasman. *Tenga en cuenta que debido a posibles retrasos de otros clientes o las condiciones de la carretera, el tiempo asignado en Aoraki Mt Cook National Park para explorar puede ser menor de lo anunciado. Esto puede significar que usted puede ser incapaz de completar caminatas completas, etc. Su guía amigable podrá ayudarle en el día con las mejores opciones disponibles. A las 2: 15 pm, por favor, siga sus instrucciones, ya que le proporcionarán la hora de recogida antes de dejarlo en Mt Cook Village.
Es aquí donde te dejamos y te deseamos viajes seguros para tu próxima aventura. Sin embargo, con su cámara llena, este día será definitivamente algo de lo que presumir! Tenga en cuenta que se tienen en cuenta paradas adicionales para las pausas para ir al baño.

We had Tom as our guide and this played a huge factor to our time on the tour. He was very knowledgeable on the history and traditional world of the Māori people and their land. We learnt a lot! Thank you Tom!!!
Unfortunately, given the small group premium pricing, I found many aspects of the tour fell short. The van was too crammed. Once the snack and lunch bags were handed out, it was so squeezy and uncomfortable. The seat belts were so hard to pull out for many passengers, so i don't know how old the van is. We also never had a stop to eat the lunch collected at Fairlie, so I just went on water and snacks till 2.30pm when I was dropped off at Mt Cook. The guide should advise us on these things so that we know whether to eat while on the van or not. And even that would have been so uncomfortable because there was no space to really handle food in the squeezy seats. The food got so soggy that the paper bag tore as I took the cold sandwich out to eat after I reached my accommodation. The tour staff put me in as vegetarian because I said I can't have beef and pork, so I had a sad sandwich with vegetables, avocado and cheese. I did like that they provided an apple, chips, bottled water, and nut bar, but I could not enjoy these because I had got food poisoning within 20min of eating the sandwich and nut bar. My afternoon was spoiled. Regarding rest stops, only after the 1hr40min non-stop drive in the morning, there were enough stops. An additional stop might be better. For the level of discomfort faced, I would not recommend this tour. However, it is the only small group tour I found that offers stops at Mt Cook trails before drop-off at the village. The stops, walks, and views were nice. I hope my review helps other know what to expect.
I really appreciate Ella and Paul for everything they did to get me on the tour when I mistaken the meet up timing. Thank you very much! And for Paul, he is an amazing guide. Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I can see he is very passionate in his job! Taking a great care to all travellers. Fantastic experience, picturesque scenery. 2 thumbs up!
Kia ora, Thank you so much for your positive feedback of Ella and Paul - it is greatly appreciated! Your kind words have been passed onto them directly :) Wishing you safe travels around the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand :)
The views were absolutely breathtaking. Every stop looked like a postcard! Lake Tekapo was stunning and Mt Cook left us speechless. We took so many photos. The van was really comfy, with plenty of leg space (I'm 1.80 m for reference), and our guide was friendly, funny, and full of great info. We had plenty of stops and time to take photos, and the small group made the experience feel more personal and relaxed. The walk at the Tasman Glacier Trail was very accessible and easy for most people. The meat pies at Fairlie Bakehouse were seriously delicious. Make sure to buy more than one!
Kia ora, Thank you so much for your review! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your recent tour with us to Aoraki Mt Cook and Lake Tekapo. We are thrilled to hear that our guide, the related small group experience, and Fairlie's famous meat pies (our favourite is Steak and Cheese!), were key to making this trip especially memorable for you. Wishing you safe travels around the rest of Aotearoa :)
Great service that provides an efficient way to commute great distances from one area to another. Drivers were excellent but van space was very cramped. WiFi provided and most appreciated.

Amazing scenes at the lake Tekapo and had a good time at the Tasman Glacier Track. The driver is very friendly and considerate, having us hamburger and pie for lunch. He also drove me to the Haka House when getting the destination. Look forward to visiting next year.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time. Glad you had a great day with us and hope to see you onboard again soon :)
This was an awesome was to transfer from Christchurch to Mt Cook. A lot of scenic stops on the way, good recommendations on local hiking routes, and drop off at your accommodation. Our driver/guide was very easy going and friendly, and gave a lot of insight to the surrounding area. Lunch was provided on top of snacks and drinks which catered well for dietary requirements. I'd recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are glad to hear you had a great time! All the best for the rest of your travels.
Although the weather didn't fully cooperate, the one-way tour to Mount Cook from Christchurch was still an incredible experience. The journey itself was scenic and enjoyable, and our guide Diane did their best to keep our spirits high despite the clouds. I can only imagine how breathtaking it must be on a clear day. I'll definitely be back for another attempt keeping an eye on the forecast.
Thank you for your lovely review, we loved having you on board. It is difficulty with Mt Cook being so unpredictable when it comes to weather. But I am glad that you had a great time despite this. I will pass this lovely feedback onto the driver. Please get in touch when you book again! we would love to help. All the best.
