紐西蘭南島
紐西蘭最壯觀的南島:庫克山、特卡波湖、皇后鎮、米爾福德峽灣、西海岸冰川與亞伯塔斯曼海岸。
南島(毛利語 Te Waipounamu)面積大於北島而人口僅約四分之一,南阿爾卑斯山脈縱貫全島,彙集了冰川、峽灣、湖泊與雪山,是紐西蘭自然風光的精華,由多個地區議會分轄。主要看點:基督城與班克斯半島;特卡波湖的好牧羊人教堂與世界級暗夜星空保護區;紐西蘭最高峰奧拉基/庫克山與胡克谷步道;冒險之都皇后鎮與鄰近的瓦納卡、箭鎮;峽灣國家公園的米爾福德峽灣與神奇峽灣,以及米爾福德步道等「偉大步道」;西海岸的弗朗茨約瑟夫與福克斯冰川、普納凱基薄餅巖;北部的亞伯塔斯曼國家公園海岸步道與馬爾堡葡萄酒產區;東岸凱庫拉觀抹香鯨;南部的但尼丁與奧塔哥半島黃眼企鵝。經典自駕環線為基督城—特卡波—庫克山—瓦納卡—皇后鎮—蒂阿瑙/米爾福德—西海岸—尼爾森—凱庫拉—基督城,約 12-16 天。山路與單車道橋多,冬季需雪鏈;米爾福德公路常因雪崩風險臨時封閉。
