Sir Edmund Hillary epitomised the New Zealand spirit of adventure and he is our inspiration when planning your experience of a lifetime. We pay homage to Sir Edmund Hillary as we explore the South Island of New Zealand and experience the postcard perfect vistas and dramatic alpine scenery that this part of the world is renowned for.
At Aoraki Mt Cook, a visit to the museum dedicated to Edmund’s adventurous spirit and his achievements is a must. A guest speaker from the Hillary family will also give you an insight into growing up as part of this famous family and find out about how they continue to keep their father’s memory alive. In Christchurch, learn more about his team’s expedition crossing Antarctica using converted farm tractors at the International Antarctic Centre. You will also travel through Marlborough, where Edmund was trained for the air force during the Second World War and where he made some daring ascents of Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku.
