New Zealand's fabled South Island is only a stone's throw away. The South Island harbours world famous sites such as the Marlborough Sounds, Abel Tasman National Park, the Franz Josef Glacier and Fjordland National Park. The South Island will certainly appeal to those who enjoy nature. Kayak through the Milford Sound, scuba dive near a seal colony in Kaikoura, hike the Franz Josef glacier, enjoy the marvelous beauty of lake Tekapo or take the fainting train ride through the Southern Alps.
