South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Milford Sound - Fiordland National Park ▷
Lake Gunn Nature Walk
5.0/5
45 minutes of stunning red beech forest - but lots of time to stand and stare, take photos, meet with the birds and wonder at all that green moss.

South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Moke Lake Campsite
5.0/5
Long dusty track but beautiful lake, lots of space, shelter, privacy - middle of nowhere.
Well worth $7 each. All DOC sites have been winners especially off the beaten track.

Milford Sound Day Cruises
3.5/5
Good advice to take early boat to avoid multilingual commentary!
Also very quiet so easy to move around and see everything. PS Doubtful much better!! A great cruise in itself.

Overnight sea kayak to Doubtful Sound.
Had to supply own food. Good fun, well organised, informative, challenging but fine for a fit beginner. Was with a good bunch of people.

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Portobello ▷
Pilots Beach
5.0/5
We had to wait in a biting wind until dark dusk, volunteers explained and had red torches so as not to harm their eyes, little penguins rafted in and walked companionably home to their young, through our
feet as we held our breath!!

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
Sandfly Bay Track
5.0/5
With huge rollers on shore and a strong crosswind the seas were beautiful with 'White Horses'.
Along the sands with sealions (eventually) yellow-eyed penguins and sliding down the dunes.
