South Island luxury vacations hand-crafted by our New Zealand specialists.

Renowned for its mountains, lakes, glaciers and outdoor adventure activities, the South Island is loved by those who like to get off the grid. 

Whether it’s to the Southern Alps’ 3,724m-high Aoraki Mount Cook or to the steep-sided fiords of the world-famous Milford Sound, activities like hiking, mountain biking and cruising abound, always within scenery so outstanding that you’ll almost swear it can’t be real. Of course, not all activities have to be quite so adventurous. 

While Queenstown is laden with opportunities to sky dive, bungee jump or ski (in the winter months), Abel Tasman offers casual coastal walks and easy ocean kayaking. 

Head to Fiordland for a taste of one of the island’s six Great Walks, or to Kaikoura to go whale watching or swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. 

For those who truly wish to relax, Wanaka will tempt your taste buds with its locally sourced cuisine and the Marlborough wine region will wash it down with delicious whites like sauvignon blanc.
