Southern Link Coaches to a lot of Locations

Southern Link Coaches offer daily trips from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo, Queenstown, Wanaka, Dunedin, Kaikoura, Nelson and Motueka. The latter includes St. Arnaud in the Nelson Lakes National Park and Takaka (Golden Bay).

There is also a route along the northern coast from Picton to Nelson, Marahau, Takaka and the Heaphy Track which is serviced several times daily, and there is a route to and from the West Coast (Greymouth, Pancake Rocks to Nelson). The West Coast Link connects with the Karamea Express for Heaphy Track trampers.

They pick up and drop off along the routes, so they are also an option to travel, for example, from Christchurch to Hanmer Springs or from Hanmer to Nelson. Also "pit stops" and lunch breaks along the way.

The company already exists since a decade, this indicates that the service is reliable.

Price examples:
Christchurch - Queenstown NZ$45
Christchurch - Dunedin NZ$56
Nelson - Kaiteriteri NZ$16
Westport - Punakaiki NZ$16
