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.
