O que fazer em Southland

Southland Essentials

Southland spans the southwestern corner of New Zealand, encompassing the glacier-carved wilderness of Fiordland National Park and the rugged coastline of the Catlins. This region features the world-renowned Milford Sound, the deep waters of Doubtful Sound, and the limestone Te Ana-au Glow-Worm Caves. Coastal highlights include Slope Point, the South Island's southernmost tip, and the 180-million-year-old petrified forest at Curio Bay. Further south, Stewart Island's Rakiura National Park offers a sanctuary for native birdlife and extensive hiking tracks.
