"Simple pleasures, good company and great experiences". The Original Green Gourmet Journey will take you to indulge and explore New Zealand's best food and wine regions.
Enjoy accommodation in stunning settings, freshest food from farm to table and dine with your hosts.
Start your journey at the top of the South Island close to Abel Tasman National Park. Nelson has a mediterranean climate and is a great produce area.
Spend the day in the picturesque Abel Tasman National Park aboard a luxury catamaran. Stop to swim or kayak, take a short hike or drop a line, enjoy your tasty lunch on board.
Your drive from Abel Tasman National Park to Charleston, takes you through Motueka and Buller Gorge. You will get your first glimpse of the West Coast on your way through Charleston to Punakaikai.
Today you will adventure out on the Rainforest Train and Cave Rafting, taking you through the native bush before you enter the caves with the best glow-worms in New Zealand. Then float through the caves and emerge to gently raft downstream.
Today you will drive through Hokitika, Franz Josef and Fox Glacier to reach the tiny settlement of Bruce Bay which is right on the beach with views of Mt Cook.
Take a short drive into Fox Glacier today whether it be a bit of adventure or just to browse through this quaint village.
The scenery changes yet again as you cross the Haast Pass, continue the drive passed Lake Hawea into Wanaka.
You may want to stop off on the way and do a short walk, or pick up a mountain bike and ride the cycle track along the Clutha River.
On your second stay in Wanaka, seek a little adventure on the 4WD journey exploring terrain that most locals haven't seen. Take in the breath taking views over Lake Wanaka to see the snow capped peaks.
This day could be a leisure day and just wonder around Wanaka Village, or take the full day classic Central Otago Wine Tour to capture the beautiful scenery and taste some great wines.
