Home to impressive landscapes, unique places to explore, along with a considerable assortment of mind-blowing attractions, the South Island is a premier holiday destination. Defining the South Island's landscape are the Southern Alps, which extend the complete distance of the island. Lake Tekapo in the high country of Mackenzie is the perfect vantage point, with its striking turquoise lake surrounded by plentiful farmland, framed by the mountainous terrain of the Southern Alps.
Many guests arrive to the South Island via Christchurch, the region’s main metropolis and principal access point. Touted the "Garden City”, it is defined primarily by its picturesque parks and gardens. Spend the day exploring the city using the Christchurch Tram, or experience a more unique mode of transport with punting on the Avon River, which meanders through Hagley Park and is surrounded by the Botanic Gardens.
From Christchurch, Queenstown can be reached on a short 50 minute flight or scenic five hour drive. Known around the globe as the adventure capital of New Zealand, Queenstown boasts a plethora of exhilarating experiences to be had. Try jetboating, white water rafting or bungy jumping, or pay a visit to the neighbouring ski resorts of the Remarkables and Coronet Peak. This striking location also happens to be a fantastic point from which to explore the iconic Milford Sound and Fiordland National Park.
