Splendid isolation results in splendid views at Rakiura National Park.
‘Rakiura’ translates to mean ‘Land of the Glowing Skies’ - a name that refers to both the occasional night-time displays of Aurora Australis and the extraordinary sunsets. The skies are also a picture during daylight hours, as cloud formations slide across the incredibly clear atmosphere. Embark on a walk around the coast or through the forest to discover the isolated splendour of New Zealand’s newest National Park. It can be wet at any time of year - take your rain gear.
