Coastal Quotes
"I love the sea's sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable. This, combined with the colour of the water over white sand, surprises me every time."

Coastal and Alpine Trails in South Island, NZ
Country: NZ
Spectacular South Island
The stunning scenery of New Zealand’s South Island is the backdrop for this Walk through the landscape that inspired the film trilogy The Lord of the Rings.
Setting off in Queen Charlotte Sounds, we retrace the steps of Captain Cook’s landing in 1770 and witness basking seals in the Southern Alps. At Christchurch we explore lush rainforest and take coastal trails to Pancake Rocks. We walk Iron Mountain and discover ancient Maori landscapes.
We hike to the base of the Rob Roy Glacier and eat a picnic lunch at the foot of the glacier, taking in views of Matukituki Valley.
