road to queenstown
Starting out of Queenstown, and dipping southwards on the very quiet roads that edge onto Fiordland National Park, we stay on a local farm before looping along the windswept southern coast. We leave the rolling plains of Southland to spend two nights on the remote and magical Stewart Island with its beautiful bays and rare birdlife. The 8 day itinerary covers new terrain as we tour the Catlins Coast, rich in its history and wildlife. We picnic on the beach at beautiful Curio Bay, home to an ancient petrified forest, fur seals, rare Hectors Dolphins and Yellow-Eyed Penguins before turning north towards our final night in Dunedin, with its rich Scottish history. For those keen to explore this region more, we offer an optional extra one day cycling tour on the Otago Peninsula, including lunch at Larnach Castle and a visit to an Albatross and Penguin colony.
