Ultimate South Island Ultimate South IslandIlana and Joyce, NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
Ultimate South Island NZ came highly recommended to us by a previous traveller. It was everything she described and so much more. Seamless booking with Hannah from Global Journeys, who is always a delight to work with. There really is nothing in the world like the South Island. Dramatic, untamed and breathtaking. Travelling through the rugged, pristine read more wilderness was profoundly peaceful, like being in paradise. Late April was a perfect time, as outside the main tourist season, with snow capped peaks, trees transitioning to Autumn colours, crisp air and sunshine every day.
Grand Pacific took care of every detail with the tour well curated, organised and communicated. Our coach driver/tour guide Linda was outstanding, highly knowledgeable, personable and humorous. Luxury coach and premium accommodation, with delicious food throughout the tour. Lovely group of fellow travellers and small enough to not feel crowded. With a lot to see, there is a fair amount of travel everyday. Would highly recommend!
Well arranged tour allows you to see & experience from the Flinders Ranges to the outback. The extended flights over Lake Eyre & the Diamantina to Birdsville were spectacular. Unique opportunity now to see the Lake Eyre in flood & desert in bloom.
This was our first time travelling with a tour group and it was amazing!!! The pace of this tour is perfect and the small group size allows for lots of hanging out together and enjoying each others company. If you want to see Italy at a relaxed pace where some things are planned and you have free time to do what you want then this tour is for you.

Our accommodations were excellent. We highly recommend the adventure.
