  Welcome to New Zealand. A Tours representative will greet you at the airport with transport waiting to take you to your hotel.

• Day 2 : Christchurch / Mt Cook / Omarama

  A brief tour of Christchurch and its surrounds before travelling across the Canterbury Plains into MacKenzie Country. View the Church of the Good Shepherd and the Collie Dog Memorial at Lake Tekapo. The memorial stands to honour the border collies that were brought to New Zealand with Scottish Shepherds in the 19th century, as the high country area surrounding Lake Tekapo could not have been farmed without the assistance of these hard working dogs, known as the 鈥楥anine Scots鈥�. Afterwards, continue to Mt Cook National Park where you can admire the majesty of New Zealand鈥檚 highest mountain, Mt Cook, before travelling on to Omarama. (B)

• Day 3 : Dunedin

  Pass large hydro lakes as you travel down the Waitaki Valley to Oamaru and Dunedin, the 鈥淪cottish鈥� city. Upon arrival, a city tour of Dunedin including the world鈥檚 steepest residential street, Dunedin University, the first Church, Speight鈥檚 Brewery, Catholic Cathedral and more before the afternoon is at your leisure.
