Extend Your Tour with Pre/Post
Accommodation in
Christchurch!
Although all of these tours include accommodation
for one night immediately before and at the end of
the tour many travellers choose to spend an
extra day or two to more fully explore the gateway
cities.
We have special rates at top hotels for Kirra
passengers for this purpose and we will be delighted
to help with this.
