Fiordland
It is a wild, untamed landscape; nature at its best. A world heritage site on the southwestern tip of the South Island, the majesty of Fiordland’s scenery is truly breathtaking and it's no surprise that writers like Kipling were inspired by its beauty.

Queenstown Lakes
Our guide to Queenstown Lakes by our Queenstown local expert - The crowning jewel of the Queenstown area is the magnificent Lake Wakatipu, though there are many other lakes in Queenstown and the surrounding areas of Wanaka, Fiordland and Central Otago.

-
Wanaka
