there are buses from dunedin to queenstown, that is not a problem. There should be buses from queenstown to franz josef. Then I would take a bus to westport and the trans alpine rail trip ( a must do) to christchuch, and then fly from there. Pacific blue just started flying from christchurch, and they have the cheapest fares to auckland.

Hope this helps.

there are a few companies, I am sure that you can google them and find something. We have a car and have not needed to use the bus, we do see them all the time though.

good luck. Reply to this

Hi nicksworld,

Welcome to TravelBlog.

Check out Intercity Coachlines I think they cover most of the areas you mentioned. Have a great trip! Reply to this
