Natural, untouched beauty! That's what New Zealand's South Island
is all about. The South Island is home to the Southern Alps and some great
skiing and snow boarding opportunities.
Christchurch is the busiest city in the South Island and also offers an
international airport, with flights connecting directly to a lot of overseas
destinations. The Sumner Beach, Gondola, Avon river and Cashmere hills are the
main attractions in Christchurch. The city centre is always busy with trams
running frequently making it a great place to hang out!

Dunedin with it's Cadbury's factory and Queenstown with it's adventure
attractions are the other two cities that can't be missed in the South Island.
Queenstown also has bungee jumping opportunities, jet boats and ski dive
opportunities. Milford sound tours also leave from Queenstown, and are highly
recommended. Stewart island can also be visited by ferries leaving Invercargill.
Most cities in the South Island are well connected by Trans Rail and that's
perhaps the most convenient way to travel. Alternately, rental cars can also be
booked and a drive along the West Coast is highly recommended. Getting to the
South Island from the North Island is possible by either catching the
Interislander ferry from Wellington or a Sounds Air flight from Wellington
airport. Domestic flights run by Air New Zealand and other airlines also connect
most other cities in the South Island to Wellington.
