Visit Southland - it's the NZ we all dream of...
Southland’s unmatched beauty provides a natural playground – no matter what your passion. As New Zealand’s ultimate nature and wildlife destination, its dramatic scenery spans lush rainforests, fertile farmlands and sweeping coastlines. Nowhere else is it as easy to get up close and personal with some of the rarest species in the world. As well as the ecological wonderlands of Stewart Island and The Catlins, Eastern Southland inspires with arts and heritage while Western Southland challenges with its pristine wilderness. Invercargill has a great event calendar and provides a perfect base to explore the region. Southland is a fishing paradise which attracts anglers from across the globe to its clear running, trout-laden rivers. Hiking opportunities abound from the Tuatapere Hump Ridge Track with its well woven blend of nature and heritage to the splendid isolation and stunning beaches of Stewart Island. If cycling is your passion explore the region on one of the many cycling trails or mountain-bike tracks.
Visitors to Southland enjoy the long summer daylight hours which offer plenty of time to get off the beaten track and experience the New Zealand we all dream of. Check out the many café, bars and restaurants that serve up local cuisine and seafood. Southland’s unmatched beauty, native wildlife, friendly locals and great food make it a destination to be experienced rather than read about.

This is it, we are finally leaving Queenstown and heading for the Southland region. Our first stop and base for the next few days is Te Anau – the gateway to the Fiordland National Park.
When we arrive in Te Anau, we check in at the Real Journeys office and board our cruise to the Te Anau Glow Worm Caves. There, we board the boat and cruise out to the western shores of Lake Te Anau and the Te Anau Caves. The Te Anau Glowworm Caves are one of the best things to do in Te Anau.
Inside the Real Journeys building at the caves, we get a quick presentation on the lifecycle of the glowworms before heading in small groups into the caves.
A walkway leads through the Te Anau Glowworm Caves to waterfalls, trout pools and close-up encounters with glow worms. Then we reach a small boat for an opportunity to float right underneath a whole ceiling of glowworms. Right here is one of the best places to see glow worms in New Zealand.
After seeing the New Zealand glowworms, we make our way back out of the caves and into the forest of the Fiordland National Park where we learn more about the bird native species.
So what do you think of the Glowworms in Te Anau? Would you see the Te Anau Glowworms in New Zealand? LUK in the comments!

Exploring Tuatapere (and Meeting New Zealand Locals) – New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year
Day 153: Today we are exploring the little town of Tuatapere in the region of Southland New Zealand! After failing to do the Humpridge Track, we check out what else this New Zealand town has to offer! It’s a great chance to meet the New Zealand locals and experience that Kiwi hospitality!

So not everything goes to plan when we make our way to the beginning of the Humpridge Track only to learn that it’s a steep and narrow gravel road to get there and our campervan is not up for the job. Instead, we decide to explore Tuatapere!
First up, we check out the Blue Cliffs Beach in Te Waewae Bay. This is a rugged part of the South Island coastline at the bottom of the Fiordland National Park. It’s a great place for a walk, to look out for marine life as it’s part of a marine reserve, and look out for greenstone.
Following our walk on the Blue Cliffs Beach, we head back into the town of Tuatapere, drop off the campervan at the Tuatapere Backpackers and take a walk in the Tuatapere Gardens. We come across the quirky Yesteryears Cafe and Museum, so we go in and meet Helen who make amazing Pavlova! Pavlova is a traditional Kiwi desert which has to be tried in New Zealand if you get the chance.
After mingling with Helen in the Yesteryears Cafe, we head back to the Tuatapere Backpackers to feed some animals with the owner, Murray, then go mingle with some more New Zealand locals in the local bar, Highway 99 Bar in Tuatapere. Here, we learn about the famous Southland deer mating call competitions they have as well as more things about Southland New Zealand.
Although today didn’t go to plan it’s been about about meeting locals in New Zealand!

Waiau River is the largest river in the Southland Region of New Zealand.It is the outflow of Lake Te Anau, flowing from it into Lake Manapouri 10 kilometres to the south, and from there flows south for 70 kilometres before reaching the Foveaux Strait 8 kilometres south of Tuatapere.It also takes water from Lake Monowai.The Upper Waiau River that flows between Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau doubled as the fictional River Anduin at the end of the first film of the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, for the scenes where the Uruk-hai chase the Fellowship along the river banks.
