The journey
This is the South Island as we would want to see it ourselves: unhurried, private and timed to the light. Your guide meets you at Queenstown and stays with you throughout, adjusting each day to the weather and to how you feel.
We begin at a lakeside residence with a private chef, travel south into Fiordland for Milford Sound before the day boats arrive, and finish beneath Aoraki, where a helicopter lands you on the snow and an astronomer shows you the southern sky.

Specialist's note
“Most couples ask for more nights in Queenstown. We usually suggest the opposite: an extra night in Fiordland, so Milford can wait for the right morning.”
