South Island (New Zealand) - Wink Travel Guide
The South Island of New Zealand is characterised by grand, open landscapes and a great sense of freedom in the sparsely populated areas away from the Christchurch and Dunedin conurbations of the east coast.
Divided by the backbone of mountain ranges aptly called the Southern Alps, the South Island is renowned for spectacular snow topped peaks, fiords, large beech forests, golden sand beaches and fertile, broad plains. There are no active volcanoes – but hot pools abound.
But the South Island is more than just stunning scenery. Hike (or tramp, as the locals say) through unspoiled valleys, lay down fresh tracks at the many ski fields, get your adrenaline going at a bungee jump or kayak to golden sand beaches.
Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
