Arrive into Christchurch, and spend the afternoon exploring the bustling city, or opt for a City Tour. On day two, you are transported to the quaint town of Oamaru, where you'll spend the afternoon exploring the charming Victorian culture and unique architecture before your evening experience at the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony, where you'll see the smallest penguins in the world. Next, you'll make your way to the city of Dunedin, also known for it's architecture and wildlife, and where you will join an ATV Wildlife Tour and hopefully encounter Spotted Shags, New Zealand Fur Seals, more little blue penguins, and possibly even the rare yellow-eyed Hoiho penguin. A second day in Dunedin sees you off on another wildlife pursuit, this time from the sea on a wildlife cruise out of the Otago Harbour, to Taiaroa Head, spotting majestic Albatross and stunning scenery. The following day, you'll arrive in adventure-capital Queenstown via a private transfer, where you'll have the afternoon to explore before heading up the scenic Skyline Gondola for a final dinner. The next morning, your journey comes to an end, with a private transfer to Queenstown Airport.
