Southland & Stewart Island value explorer

This itinerary is designed to introduce you to some of the delights on offer in the south, and has a particularly strong wildlife focus. Beginning with three nights in Dunedin, you have time to visit the beautiful Otago Peninsula with its resident penguins and albatross, as well as exploring this historic city. You then head to the very south of New Zealand, to the untouched Stewart Island, where you will hopefully encounter the native kiwi. Finally you journey to Te Anau on the edge of the spectacular Fiordland National Park. By incorporating a complimentary wildlife tour, as well as securing exclusive rates on our accommodation, we are able to offer a saving of £80 per person.
