Sir Edmund Hillary epitomised the New Zealand spirit of adventure and on this trip of a lifetime we pay homage to Sir Edmund Hillary and learn more about his achievements and humanitarian efforts as we explore the South Island of New Zealand and experience the postcard perfect vistas and dramatic alpine scenery that this part of the world is renowned for.
Your 13-day journey begins in Christchurch traversing the Southern Alps via Arthur’s Pass, to the west coast, down to Franz Josef, Queenstown, Milford Sound, across to Dunedin, heading back up to Aoraki Mt Cook, Christchurch, Kaikoura, Marlborough across the Cook Straight to Wellington. You will travel through Marlborough, where Edmund was trained for the air force during the Second World War and where he made some daring ascents of Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku. In Christchurch, learn more about his team’s expedition crossing Antarctica using converted farm tractors at the International Antarctic Centre. Find out about how his memory is kept alive at Aoraki/Mt Cook with a visit to the museum dedicated to Edmund’s adventurous spirit and his achievements.
Heritage rail highlights include - from Kaikoura to Marlborough, you will be hauled under a full head of steam by the historic WW1 memorial steam locomotive Ab608 Passchendaele, named in honour of our fallen soldiers at The Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Earlier in the tour, a return journey between Kingston & Fairlight on the iconic Kingston Flyer steam train. You also take in three of the classic rail journeys of the South Island on the Tranzalpine and Coastal Pacific scenic trains plus journey by train over the world-famous Taieri Gorge.
