Te Anau to Invercargill Transfer: Small Group, Local Guide
Two hours across Southland farmland with a guide who knows the back roads
A small group transfer from Te Anau to Invercargill in a modern, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz with a maximum of 15 passengers, including hotel pickup and drop-off, water, snacks, and commentary from a local guide. The journey takes around two hours and passes through rolling farmlands, rural towns and native bush. Luggage space is provided for one large and one small piece per person.
The experience
You're picked up from your Te Anau accommodation and travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with no more than 15 other passengers. The route cuts across Southland's farmland and quiet rural towns, and a local guide shares insights about the landscape and hidden corners along the way. Water and snacks keep you refreshed during the two-hour drive, and the vehicle has space for one large bag and one small bag per person, so you don't have to leave luggage behind or pay extra.
The transfer ends at your chosen hotel in Invercargill, so there's no waiting around for a shuttle or figuring out the last leg of the journey. If you're traveling with children aged 7 or younger, a safety seat is provided (or you can bring your own), and specialized infant seats are available on request. The small group size means the pace stays relaxed and you're not crammed in with a full coach.
