The top third of the South Island is an area of wonderful contrasts, from the glittering waterways of the Marlborough Sounds and Abel Tasman National Park to the spectacular high country of Hanmer Springs and Molesworth Station.
Take your time seeing the best of the region with several two-night stays. You might have flown over Farewell Spit many times; now is your chance to see it at ground level.
For nature lovers, marine and bird life abound in the Marlborough Sounds and at Farewell Spit. The late summer weather, luscious local wine, fresh food and produce, compelling history and scenic grandeur will make this a trip to remember.
Whether you’re soaking in the mineral pools of Hanmer Springs, tasting world-class wines in Marlborough, or riding the Coastal Pacific train along the rugged coastline, this is a journey that will share the best that the top of the South Island has to offer.
