Set in a marvellous landscape, this genuinely Kiwi experience takes you across the vast expanse of the Canterbury farmlands.The magnificent mountain landscape of the Southern Alps provides a stunning backdrop for your New Zealand Farm and Scenic Day Tour as you travel through the beautiful scenery of the Canterbury Plains aboard the luxurious and comfortable top-of-the-line Mercedes Benz AWD bus. Braided rivers, tussock, hills, plateaus and mountain lakes make up this diverse landscape that you will experience as you make your way to up to three different farms.
