Itinéraire
1
Geraldine
Our first stop of the day is Geraldine. Arriving in time for morning tea, enjoy a coffee at a local cafe (at own expense) and a brief stroll through the local shops. This small South Canterbury town is also home to Barker's of Geraldine. Here, you can sample their delicious jams, chutneys, sauces, and syrups from their food store and pantry and even purchase a jar (or two...or three!) to take home. Our team's favourite? Strawberry Jam...and their famous Chocolate Sauce!
20 minutes
2
Fairlie
Nestled in the charming farming township of Fairlie, this stop is always popular with guests. It is especially stunning in autumn as the trees lining the streets and Burkes Pass turn a vibrant orange. It is here that you can enjoy a famous Fairlie Bakehouse pie. Our personal recommendation is the classic steak and cheese!
20 minutes
3
Lac Pukaki
Next, we stop at Lake Pukaki. With its shifting colours ranging from ice to deep blue depending on the weather, this glacier-fed lake stands out from other alpine lakes in the region. On clear days, enjoy uninterrupted views of Aoraki rising from the lake’s edge. Framed by the mighty Southern Alps, you are guaranteed to capture some breathtaking photos.

Mount John Summit Circuit Track
MT JOHN (please note that the location of this stop is Mt John; not the track itself)
Home to Mt John Observatory (also a field station for Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha: University of Canterbury), the summit offers incredible views over Lake Tekapo, Lake Alexandrina, and the Mackenzie Basin. While we will not have access to go inside the Observatory itself, on fine days, the views from the top give a greater appreciation for the district's rugged beauty.
