South Island

The South Island of New Zealand, also known as Te Wai Pounamu (or Water of Greenstone in Maori), is a place of spectacular scenery. The South Island has a wide range of fiords, glaciers, and lakes and mountains that cover the island and has 8 of New Zealand's 10 biggest lakes that are formed by glaciers. The 15 named maritime fiords are all located in the southwest of the island in a mountainous area known as Fiordland. Tourists can experience the heritage of ancient Kiwis by making a visit to Te Wahipounamu, a world heritage site in the southwest corner of the South Island. It take us back 80 million years to a time when New Zealand was the part of the ancient super continent Gondwana and showcases some of the best representations of the original flora and fauna present in Gondwanaland.
