The Best of South Island

When you visit South Island, be sure to pack along your sense of adventure. With its robust physical beauty, Queenstown, known as the world’s adventure capital, promises experiences that will make you feel wonderfully alive to everything around you. Bungee jumping, canyoning and heli-biking are just some of the things to appeal to your inner adrenalin junkie. You could also hike up the Southern Alps or embark on an expedition to the majestic Remarkables mountain range, along with the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Famously known as the country’s ‘garden city’, Christchurch, the largest urban centre in South Island, has plenty in store too. Apart from impressive Botanic Gardens, there’s also Christchurch Art Gallery to explore, while Canterbury Museum is a doorway into New Zealand’s intriguing cultural heritage.
