Be entertained by the birdlife, the lambs and sheep as well as the fabulous views from these ancient volcanoes. You will love the quaint villages, French history and rural scenery that will make you realise you have experienced a very special and unique corner of the South Island. In fine weather you cannot but be impressed by the light and colours of the lakes, sea, volcanic outcrops and grassy fields. I will bring my knowledge as an ex-teacher and as a local of 35 years to weave the geographic features and the history of the colourful characters who have lived here into a series of stories so that you finish your day with an understanding of past and modern New Zealand. You can't miss Christchurch, the "Garden City" and third biggest in the country! This is a suggested tour. . . . . we are very happy to include other options such as Birdlings Flat (gemstone beach, Sumner Beach, The International Antarctic Centre, Willowbank Wildlife Park (see kiwis), Air Force World, Wine-tasting etc. . . . time permiting
