If you come to Southern Lakes
looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't
leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling
activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters
and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides.
New Zealand
is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is
found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are
exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and
magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of
land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy
jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or
parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive.
Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle
both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.
The region's main town, Queenstown, is known as the adventure capital of New Zealand. Visitors can
take part in many exciting activities, all close to each other. There is bungy jumping, jet boating,
white-water rafting, horse riding, Fly by Wire, mountain biking, rock climbing, water skiing, ice
skating and Frisbee golf.
Central Otago is home to stone fruit such as apricots and peaches. Wine
growing in Central Otago is a fledgling industry and is already recognised for producing some of the
world's best Pinot Noir. This part of New Zealand has some of the finest water and winter sport
facilities in the country.
Gold was the basis for the original growth of Central Otago with the
rush to Arrowtown and Alexandra, Bannockburn, Clyde, Cromwell, Bendigo, Gabriel's Gully, Naseby,
Queenstown and St Bathans. Many locations are now only names and ruins. The colourful history of
these times is preserved in its many local museums. The gold rushes brought people from all over the
world, including many Chinese settlers.
Mount Aspiring National Park and its glaciers feed the
rivers that flow into the glacier Lakes Hawea, Wakatipu and Wanaka.
Maori, in their search for
the very highly valued pounamu (greenstone), created a lot of tracks through this region, which are
now walkways or hiking tracks.
The Fiordland National Park takes in the whole southwest corner of
New Zealand. It contains Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri as well as Milford Sound. Visitors can
appreciate the National Park from aircraft, boats, the spectacular Milford Road, or the several fine
walking tracks, which include the Routeburn and Milford Tracks.
Seals, penguins and dolphins
can often be seen in Milford Sound.
The region's thick forest has hardly been touched by humans and
exploitation of the region has been mainly confined to the coast, with fishing, and in the past,
sealing.
Southern Lakes District has three of New Zealand's Great Walks - the Routeburn,
Milford and Kepler Tracks. There are also tracks within Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National
Parks.
