South Island Part 1 « Britt's Bits

South Island Part 1. May 17, 2012 by Brittany. We started our journey through the South Island on Monday. So far we have visited Kaikoura, Christchurch, Akaroa, Lake Tekapo, Wanaka and we arrived in Te Anau this evening. Kaikoura's highlights included a beautiful view and fantastic thinly sliced italian style ... Rockburn, a much smaller boutique type winery compared to Drylands has absolutely delicious wines. In particular the Riesling, both dry and sweet. 20120517-233023.jpg ...

Have questions about how to best spend 16 days on the south island of new zealand?

Planning a 16 day vacation touring the south island in April of 2008. Is this a good time to travel to New Zealand? Starting with 7 days in Queenstown, what would be the best day trips to make around Queenstown? Any special tours. Then planning a car tour up north. Maybe over to Haast for 1 night. Up to the Greymouth area. Eventually up to the Nelson area. Abel Tasmen is a must for us. 2 or 3 days there? Open to suggestions. Thinking of either flying back home out of Christchurch or Wellington? Possible wine country drive. Marborough sound trip? So many possibilities but would like to narrow it down to the best highlights, but have it be a relaxing pace and not extremely pricey. Open to a day or night here or there along the way. Not sure when we will be back so just want to make the most of our time there. Help!

hi there, So I've asked a very similar question to this but I figure I'll put more info in this one so you don't have to write me a novel. I'm studying abroad a semester (Jan-May) and want to try and experience everything without feeling like I missed out on something. I'll definately be studying in the South Island so I want to know if theres anything you can think of that I should/must do, see, experience, etc. Here's what I've come up with.. Punakaiki- •Pancake Rocks •blowholes Christchurch- •“Garden City”- Botanical Gardens •Rangitata Rafts- peel forest south Canterbury •Hot air balloon •Hanmer Springs Thermal pools and Spa- 90n min. north Glacier Country- •Fox Glacier •Franz Josef Glacier- Glacier pool jump •Okarito Lagoon kayak •Scenic skydive/flight Fiordland National Park- •Milford Sound- Mitre Peak •Te Anau Glowworm Caves •Mirror Lakes •Doubtful Sound •Milford Road •Te Anau horse trek Nelson- •Marlborough/Blenheim Wine tasting •Marlborough Sound •Abel Tasman National Park o Harwood’s hole and starlight cave oTandem hang-gliders oMicrolight flights •Waikoropupu freshwater springs and clay •Kaiteriteri Beach Queenstown- •Nevis Bungee Jump •Shotover Jet •Luge Ride •River Rafting •Deer Park Heights •The Bunker Restaurant •skydive •Lake Wakatipu sunset •White water rafting Wanaka- •Ski town •Haast Pass Blue Pool •snowboarding Kaikoura- •Whale watching •Swim with dolphins •Kayak/swim with seals •Deep sea fishing Dunedin- •Cathedral Caves •Manorburn dam fishing- central otago •Moeroki Beach oMarble Boulder rocks oBlue and yellow eyed penguins oSeal colony Southland- •Fly fishing •Slope point- south pole sign •Invercargill- curio bay oLow tide oFossilized trunks oHectors dolphins- Porpoise Bay I know it may seem a bit extensive but I honestly want to know ANYTHING that will be worth my while here. I'm so excited to go and would appreciate any and all feedback you have. I'll most likely be going to school in Dunedin (ChCh as a backup), so if there's certain things other than those I already mentioned in those cities that'd be helpful considering I'll be broke after I do all these things... gah:) Thank you so much, it means alot that you're helping me out with this!

Given a choice between wine tasting in Blenheim or Martinborough, NZ, which area would you select to visit?

I'm planning a trip to New Zealand. Will be biking the West Coast of the South Island, ending with the train trip over the alps to Christchurch. Have a week afterwards and trying to decide where to spend it. I definitely want to do some wine tasting, and know a winery I like in Martinborough. That being said, I was also thinking of containing myself to the South Island on this trip. Is the Martinborough region better, worse, the same as Marlborough/Blenheim?

I'm torn between Australia and NZ What about Dunedin or the South Island? I'm an American and get along well with people from all walks of like.

Also, we prefer tranquil surroundings, enjoy the outdoors and a nice glass of wine on occasion! Thank you!

Shipping Alocholic Beverages?

I am moving to the South Pacific island of American Samoa. I want to ship a few bottles of wine, beer, and mudslide drinks to meet me when I get there. I am wondering if anyone knows if we are allowed to mail alcholic beverages with the USPS (United States Postal Service)? American Samoa is a US territory so its not a International territory. Thank you with any information I can get.
