The South Island of New Zealand is very mountainous and it takes longer than you may imagine to drive from place to place. It can also be tedious driving long distances, and most people run out of time to do all the activities they want to do. This is where we can help you.
For example we can meet you at Christchurch International Airport, fly north to Kaikoura to see the whales, swim with the dolphins etc. Fly to Blenheim to see the vineyards and this wine growing region of Marlborough. There are many places you can stay on the way, we can recommend somewhere, or you can arrange your own. You must visit the Mount Cook National Park and see New Zealand's highest mountain and the glaciers at Franz Josef and Fox. We can fly to Haast and you can take a jetboat ride on the Haast River or the remote Waiatoto rivers. The flight from Fox down the West coast to Milford Sound is over Jacksons Bay, Big Bay and Martins Bay.
After Milford Sound you may like to fly over some of the other Sounds e.g. Doubtful Sound.
Perhaps, after the more hectic pace of Queenstown you will decide to visit the quiet, remote island off the South Island, Stewart Island. We can arrange to fly you down there too! Ask about prices.

Big Bay
This is the ultimate true wilderness experience and will appeal to those clients who want to get away from it all. Big Bay is on the West Coast about fifteen minutes flying time north of Milford Sound. It is a huge bay of golden sand and large breakers, ideal for surfing. We can land on the beach at low tide. The only access to Big Bay is either by air, sea or a four day walk. Big Bay only comes alive during whitebating season, when the few huts are occupied. The rest of the time there is only the occasional tramper or hunter passing through.
