Te Waipounamu (the South Island) is impossibly high on so many people's bucket lists. Although it's small compared to other places around the world, it's incredibly diverse. On your trip, you can expect to find everything from coves and secluded bays to ancient golden-sand beaches and snowy mountain peaks.
This is the four-week South Island itinerary I dream about. I have travelled across the island four times and done extensive research to bring you what I'd consider to be the ultimate South Island itinerary.
I’ll share the best time to visit the island, how to get around, my favourite hiking trails, experiences you cannot miss, and everything you need to know to make the most of your time in this part of Aotearoa.
I hope you have the most incredible time. I know you'll love it here as much as I do x
