Wellington - Greymouth - Queenstown

Overview

This route is the refreshing, wilderness way to get to Queenstown. Start with the heritage and cultural entertainments of Wellington, then cross Cook Strait on a ferry journey through the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. Enjoy Nelson’s creative streak before you venture up the Buller River to the wild Tasman Sea views of the west coast. In Greymouth you’ll learn about the local treasures (gold and greenstone). Further down the coast you’ll need your warmest jacket to explore the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. Admire the rainforest waterfalls of Haast Pass on your way to the restaurants, shopping and adventurous outdoor fun of Wanaka and Queenstown.
