We have divided the South Island into 2 separate tours. Lower South Island (starting from $2795pp) and Upper South Island (starting from $2695pp). These are sandwiched together, with the Upper South Island following on from the finish of the Lower South Island. This gives you the flexibility to do one or both of these tours.
