Always wanted to visit New Zealand’s South Island?

Virtual travel can still offer some of the thrills of an ‘in real life’ trip: seeing and experiencing new landscapes, culture, and people.

Relax in the comfort of your own home, and enjoy tripping around New Zealand’s West Coast of the South Island with new virtual travel mates.

If you can’t visit in person, this is the next best thing!

Itinerary:

  • Abel Tasman National Park: We’ll kayak blue waters and walk golden sand beaches in this stunning national park
  • Charleston and Punakaiki: Explore the stalagmites and stalactites of this unmodified cave system, and float under a spectacular display of glittering glowworm lights
  • Hokitika and Glacier Country: Get creative with some driftwood beach sculptures then hike to a glacier and a pristine mirror lake
  • Wanaka and Queenstown: Mingle with some woolly locals before hiking to an alpine meadow with hanging glaciers all around
  • Fiordland: Experience Milford Sound’s thundering waterfalls in the rain then escape to remote Doubtful Sound to watch dolphins and penguins gliding through serene waters

Led by your local Kiwi guide, Debbie Clarke, born and bred in New Zealand. Debbie owns New Zealand Awaits, a travel company in New Zealand, and knows her country inside out.

You’ll leave with a map of your virtual trip and all the places you’ve visited.

    Due to the Covid Pandemic, things have changed when it comes to travel. Debbie has adapted with a wonderful small group zoom opportunity. She takes us to New Zealand and gives us the opportunity to see It through the eyes of a local without leaving the comfort of our homes. There is times to discuss the scenery and ask questions. It is such a blessing to have an local tour guide who embraces the Kiwi spirit. Can’t wait to see New Zealand with New Zealand awaits.
