Visiting New Zealand's South Island

South Island, officially named Te Waipounamu (originating from the words for water and greenstone in Maori culture), is the largest and southernmost island in New Zealand. And like the rest of New Zealand, it's a wonderful place, with amazing natural landscapes, exciting activities, and incredibly rich culture.

To learn what you can do in South Island, New Zealand, continue reading the post below.

Where to Go in South Island

ChristChurch

ChristChurch is not only the largest city in South Island, but it's a very diverse and contrasting city, where street art and new architecture meets old buildings and natural landscapes. You may never tire (or even get bored) of exploring this modern and innovative, yet classic and cultural city.

Dunedin

Dunedin the second largest city in South Island (second only to ChristChurch mentioned above), but it's also an interesting city, since its Scottish heritage is very present throughout it. Moreover, it has perfectly preserved Edwardian and Victorian cities, thrilling nightlife, fine dining, and uniquely fascinating natural wonders. All in all, a great stop in anyone's travel itinerary.

Fiordland National Park

Finally, probably the most precious gem that South Island has to offer is Fiordland National Park. You can boat through its jaw-dropping fiords (Milford and Doubtful), be amazed by its Sutherland Falls (some of the largest in the world), and climb, bike, hike and even take a helicopter through it. This place is so incredible and stunning, that it's a UNESCO World Heritage site.
