One of New Zealand’s most famous and photographed icons is the Church Of The Good Shepherd on the stunning lakefront of Lake Tekapo. This charming church holds a special place in the hearts of locals. It was built in memory of the pioneers of the Mackenzie, from local stone gathered from within 5 miles of the site, with the aim to simply be part of the landscape. It is a treasured heritage building and is also a place of worship.

Southern Voyager - 7 day tour Had the best time experiencing all the South Island has to offer with the southern voyager package. We got to see all the amazing spots and got to experience a true kiwi experience. Wild Kiwi and our guide V were exceptional in the every aspect and could not recommend enough! The perfect way to make memories of a lifetime and to also share it with a group of amazing people. Well worth it for the price and would happily book any future trips with them!

Amazing experience on the southern voyager with wild kiwi and the driver/guide Vendula. First time doing a solo tour for 6 nights and the group of fellow travellers also made the experience. Vendula’s knowledge off all things New Zealand was incredible and really kept us entertained. Also helps that all activities are organised for you which takes a bit of the pressure off Would highly recommend this tour for any solo travellers or even groups of people. Worth every penny! Thanks again, I will be back

It’s was super fun, it was the best way to go through New Zealand. I was en exchange student and had no one to go with, I ended up making many friends. It was my first solo trip and everything was amazing, I discovered New Zealand and I wasn’t alone and being a small group makes it feel closer to people.

As soon as we hopped on the bus on day 1 it was like we were long time friends catching up as the vibe was relaxed but ready for an adventurist week. There were plenty of opportunities to do activities as the whole group, smaller groups as well as solo if you wanted time on your own. Our guide, Ben also new some really spectacular spots to stop over - breaking up the days where we had long drives. My highlight was Lake Tekapo - I took 100's of photos to turn into a painting.
