The South Island of New Zealand is a true scenic wonderland. It is also very compact. Most destinations are reached in flights of around one hour. Some would take a days driving to get to and some you cannot drive to. This means you will have time for really exploring places on the ground, and generally having a holiday. Or taking part in exciting adventure tourism opportunities available here, such as jetboating, white water rafting, bungy jumping and hiking.

Each days flying will be unique. Routes include flights over mountains, glaciers, lakes, beaches, rolling hills and farmland. All in a short space of time! From the dry semi desert of parts of Otago to the rain forest of the west coast in less than 100 miles.

Destinations include the resorts of Queenstown and Wanaka. Also Mt Cook and the world famous Milford Sound. At Milford you can take a walk to the Bowen falls and really soak up the atmosphere of this amazing landscape. On Stewart Island you can see native birds in their natural habitat. The city of Dunedin is a centre of culture, education, and history. Christchurch is modern and alive with action, but nearby lies beatifull scenery, farmland, and the marine observation area at Kaikoura. A great place to watch whales in thier natural habitat.

In places such as Stewart Island and the West Coast you will be able to land on remote beaches, and enjoy exploring or a pinic lunch. Visit other sheep station airstrips.

The Wanaka and Queenstown area has plenty to offer: resturants, shops and vineyards with open wineries and vineyard tours. There are four major lakes and four ski fields. This is all within 100 km of your base at Geordie Hill.
