Highlights

Join our top-rated Mount Cook Group Day Tour from Christchurch and experience one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking alpine journeys. This full-day tour is perfect for travelers who want to explore Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, Lake Tekapo, and Lake Pukaki without the hassle of planning or self-driving. Our professional driver-guide ensures a smooth and informative ride through the Canterbury Plains, with photo stops and local insights along the way. What makes this tour unique? We start the day with a comfort break in Geraldine, a charming rural town with artisan food stores and crafts. From November to March, we visit the stunning NZ Alpine Lavender Farm, where you can enjoy fresh lavender ice cream, browse locally made lavender products, and take beautiful photos in vibrant purple fields. At Mount Cook, enjoy up to 1.5 hours of free time—hike to the Tasman Glacier view, relax at The Hermitage Hotel, or take an optional scenic flight over the Southern Alps.

About Christchurch

Christchurch is the South Island's largest city, a flat, green city on the Avon River with the Southern Alps and Banks Peninsula close by.

Christchurch was planned by English settlers in 1850 around a central square and the Avon River, which winds through the city past willows and lawns. Hagley Park and the Botanic Gardens cover a large green area beside the centre, and punts glide along the river. The Gothic Revival Arts Centre, built for the university, houses studios and cafés, and Canterbury Museum stands beside the gardens.

Top-ranked sights in Christchurch: Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo, TranzAlpine Train.
