News: Guided South Island Road Days
Guided South Island road days now assume weather holds. Scenic roads that look short on a map are not short in the rain.
Why mileage dropped
Previous versions stacked too many lookouts. Travelers remembered the bus more than the walk. The escort now protects walking time.
Ferries and passes
- Buffers sit in the plan on purpose.
- A closed pass means a reroute, not a refund debate on the shoulder.
- Motion sickness is common; say so before the winding day.
Outdoors
Tracks listed as optional stay optional. The escort will not take a group onto a route that the day’s conditions do not support.
