Description
Join Haka Tours on the South Island Safari to experience a guided snow tour of the best resorts in the South Island. The expert guides will take you to the best ski fields in Christchurch, Lake Tekapo, Ohau, Wanaka & Queenstown.
Everything is organised for you including transport and transfers to the mountains, accommodation, lift passes and breakfast. If you need ski/snowboard hire or lessons you can also add these on. Everything is taken care of for you! The guides are experts who live, eat and dream snow! With over 100 seasons between them in New Zealand and overseas you are guaranteed to be in safe hands. The guides will also tell you all the best secret spots and where the powder stashes are!
Your itinerary includes one free non ski day in Queenstown. Choose to explore the town or enjoy one of the many activities available.
Accommodation is in high end hostels in shared dorm rooms. If you would prefer to upgrade to a double or twin room for the duration of the tour then this can be added on for an additional fee. Upgrades are per room so if you would like to share with a friend or partner you only need to pay for one upgrade!
