| Whether you are an adventure junkie or a lover of nature - the South Island has a fantastic range of attractions to excite all types of visitors. From the famous Wildlife Cruises, Akoroa Harbour Nature Cruises and the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch to cruising the magnificent Milford Sound fiord - this really is nature at its best! If you want adrenaline then Queenstown is your dream town - from Challenge Rafting to the thrilling Shotover Jet, Harris Mountain Heli Skiing to Dart River Jet Safaris. Christchurch offers some great history, with Tamaki Heritage Village and rides aboard the historic Christchurch Tramway, or take a trip on the Christchurch Gondola for 360 views and a tour back in time on the Time Tunnel Ride! The scenery in the South Island is some of the most spectacular in the world - experience a glacier landing in Mount Cook with The Helicopter Line, or drift serenely across central Canterbury on an Aoraki Balloon Safari. Relax in the world class spa of Hanmer Springs, jump aboard Abel Tasman Aqua Taxis or paddle your way around Tasman Bay with Kiwi Kayaks. Get wet & wild on the West Coast with Taniwha Black Water Rafting and Hot Rock Rafting, or cool off with a trip to Franz Josef Glacier on a Heli Hike or with Franz Josef Glacier Guides. Whatever your interest, you will wish that you had allowed more time to experience all of the great attractions in the South Island. |
