FROM CHRISTCHURCH TO AUCKLAND. TOUR WITH STRAY.

The Short Bret Bus Pass

South Island with North Island with Express

All of New Zealand pass except the bottom bit. Start in Christchurch, head North and then to the beautiful West Coast of the South Island then from Queenstown express back to Christchurch where you head North to Auckland and get to see highlights of the North Island.

Good for someone with less than three weeks, starting in Christchurch and finishing in Auckland but having a decent look at both Islands.
