The South Island of New Zealand boasts some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, from jagged, snow-capped peaks to glacial lakes in brilliant blue hues. Its cool temperatures transform much of the island into a winter wonderland, dusting the landscape in snow, while spring turns it into an adventure hub, where skis are swapped for bungee cords.
Nature lovers are spoiled for choice in the South Island, with many opting to base themselves in Queenstown, before setting off to Wanaka or Fiordland National Park.
