The Vastness of the High Country | Flockhill Station Tours

Embark on a stunning property loop exploring a chunk of our 36,000 acres with scenic stops for photos along the way. Our Station Tours help foster an appreciation for the geographical diversity, scale, and complexities of our unique New Zealand high country station.

Discover the High Country

Rolling tussock plains, dramatic limestone outcrops, alpine rivers, and wide-open skies- each turn of the journey reveals a new perspective on this extraordinary land. Our guides share the history and ecology of the station, weaving together stories of its farming heritage and its evolving place in the landscape.

Station Safari

From intimate valleys to sweeping mountain vistas, the Station Safari helps guests grasp the magnitude of Flockhill. The sheer variety of terrain, from grazing pastures, wetlands, native bush, and snow-capped peaks, creates an experience that feels expansive, immersive, and deeply connected to place. Designed as a half-day journey, our Station Safari pairs well with activities in our Limestone Boulders. Book them individually or pair them up for an epic full-day adventure.

Following a scenic driving loop with short stops and light walking, it’s a relaxed way to explore Flockhill’s scale and diversity, making it an excellent option for guests with low mobility who still want to immerse themselves in the landscape.

Far Reaches Tour

For those staying longer at Flockhill, or simply looking to experience it all, the Far Reaches Tour ventures into the outermost corners of the property. This journey takes guests across alpine landscapes, over the Midline Railway, and past historic station sites, reaching as far as the Waimakariri boundary for a scenic lunch. Along the way, you’ll discover Blackwater Lake, a remote alpine treasure rarely seen by visitors.

For the most epic version of the Far Reaches Tour, trade wheels for wings on your journey home: begin with a ride out to the station’s edges, hike down to the Waimakariri River or up to Lovers Knob for lunch, then be whisked away by helicopter for a sweeping aerial perspective of Flockhill and beyond.

Pause, Reflect, Capture

No matter the tour you choose, our guides will stop at vantage points chosen for their beauty and significance. Whether you’re framing the perfect shot or simply breathing in the stillness of the high country, Flockhill Station Tours are designed for moments of quiet awe.
