What better introduction to the stunning Queenstown and Fiordland areas than the dramatic Lindis Pass. Keep your camera at hand, especially for shots of those 'Misty Mountains'! In historic Queenstown and Arrowtown you can get really close to the hobbits' journey - float on a raft down the same river as Frodo, bungy jump into it or wade into the Ford of Bruinen. Or take a drive out to the beautiful beech trees of Fangorn Forest, near Te Anau, situated on Takaro Road.
You won't regret a side trip to the stunning Lake Wanaka and the memorable drive through the golden Cardrona Valley - savour the views of the River Anduin, site of the Pillars of the Argonath and Dimrill Dale. And of course, no visit 'down South' would be complete without taking in the unspoilt beauty of Lake Manapouri and Doubtful Sound in the Fiordland National Park.
