Having a Blast at Cardrona
Our South Island Safari is a fantastic combination of our Wanaka Adventure and Craigieburn Adventure. The tour departs Queenstown or Christchurch on a Sunday where your guide will pick you up from the airport or any accommodation close to the city. From there we will travel to our private accommodation in the mountains where you can kick back, meet some new friends, and get excited about your adventure.
Guests on our South Island Safari will get to discover two very distinct areas of the Southern Alps, the commercial skifields of Wanaka and Queenstown, and the epic club fields in the Craigieburn Mountain Range. The itinerary has been carefully calculated to minimise travelling time on the tour while still allowing allow for maximum coverage of the best ski areas in the Southern Alps. If you're looking for a two week road trip in the snow without the hassle involved in organising it yourself, then this is the perfect option for you. The views from every run are scenically beautiful and the ski towns along the way are uniquely Kiwi.
