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 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 – take a ride on New Zealand’s only indoor velodrome – or jump on a bike and ride one of the region’s many mountain-bike tracks or touring trails.
