South Island...

The South Island is sparsely populated and brimming with outdoor adventure.  You may see landscapes and scenery that you have not seen before, packaged in the most beautiful and moving of  environments.


One popular way to see the South Island  is a drive that starts at Christchurch (see earthquake information under Christchurch heading), heads to Mt. Cook, down to Queenstown, over to Fiordlands NP, up through Westland NP, and crossing to the North Island using the ferry from Picton to Wellington.

(During this period of uncertainty surrounding the future effects of the Christchurch earthquake damage, it might be preferable to begin your tour of the South Island at Picton after arrival in Auckland or Wellington on the North Island.)
