South Island Essentials

The South Island features the Southern Alps, home to the Hooker Valley Track and The Remarkables ski area. Coastal highlights include the spherical Moeraki Boulders, the steep Baldwin Street in Dunedin, and the Archway Islands at Wharariki Beach. Fiordland National Park contains Milford Sound, known for its sheer rock faces and waterfalls, and the Te Ana-au glow-worm caves. Queenstown serves as a hub for the Kawarau Bridge Bungy, Shotover Jet, and the historic coal-fired TSS Earnslaw steamship on Lake Wakatipu.
