When Size Matters 
Grand Pacific Tours, the New Zealand Luxury Coach Holiday specialist, have released 
an exclusive 11 Day Tour of the South Island utilising their much acclaimed 20 seat 
Ultimate Touring Coach. 
This exclusive departure is scheduled for the 25th February 2009 and although 11 days 
it is a leisurely paced tour with three 2 night stays. Prices start at $3499 ex Melbourne, 
Sydney, Brisbane and Coolangatta with add-ons from other cities. This includes return 
economy class airfare, 10 nights deluxe accommodation, cooked breakfast each 
morning, nine dinners with three speciality dinners including a Haggis Ceremony and 
one picnic lunch. The services of a professional Coach Captain with full commentary, 
meet and greet on arrival, return airport transfers in New Zealand and hotel 
porterage are also included. 
Sightseeing and attraction entry is included in Christchurch with a city tour and 
tramway pass. In Dunedin visit historic Olveston House with the evening concluding 
with a traditional Haggis Ceremony. A tour of Larnach Castle and its magnificent 
gardens is also included. A cruise on the historic TSS Earnslaw with dinner at Walter 
Peak Station in Queenstown is a highlight. Cruise on the famous Milford Sound and a 
rail trip aboard the TranzAlpine Rail Journey from Arthurs Pass back to Christchurch 
are just another of the inclusions in this tour.   
The pièce de résistance though, is that only 20 lucky travellers will experience this 
tour aboard the deluxe Ultimate Coach. Designed to exacting standards, the 
Ultimate Coach has been purpose built and is the same size as a normal touring 
coach, but is fitted with only 20 large reclining leather seats offering comfort, style, 
extensive leg room and panoramic views. No other vehicle of this quality is available 
for touring in New Zealand.
