Punakaiki Pancake Rocks Paparoa National Park
The Great Coast Road between Greymouth and Westport on the West Coast of the South Island was recently named one of the world's greatest drives by Lonely Planet.This wild, practically uninhabited stretch of coastline has near-mythical status in New Zealand, thanks mostly to its varied and unspoiled geography, down-to-earth locals and rich history.

With the pounding waves of the Tasman Sea on one side and the tropical rainforest of the Paparoa National Park on the other, the drive between Greymouth and Westport is punctuated by the famous limestone formations and blowholes at Punakaiki.
Don't miss: Head up to Denniston above Westport for stunning views of the coast before descending into the historic underground coal mine, or tackle the caves at nearby Charleston.
Milford Sound + Fiordland
The South Island has no shortage of incredible scenery, but Milford Sound and Fiordland are something else. Milford Sound, a fiord carved by Ice Age glaciers, is the jewel of Fiordland National Park, a 1.2 million hectare wonderland encompassing mountains, lakes, fiords and rainforests.
Rudyard Kipling called it the 'eighth wonder of the world.'The scenery here is on such a super-sized scale towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, seemingly bottomless waterways that you'd be forgiven for thinking it was some kind of computer-generated trickery.

Queenstown
Queenstown sets the standard for all resort party towns.Its global reputation as a bucket-list destination comes back to three things: location, location, location. Queenstown sits on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by majestic mountain ranges like The Remarkables. While there's plenty to see and do in the immediate area -- especially if you're into skiing, hiking, jet-boating, bungee jumping and skydiving -- it's is also the gateway to picture-perfect towns like Glenorchy, Wanaka, Arrowtown and Alexandra. A 'continental' climate with hot, dry summers makes for excellent wine-growing conditions - the central Otago region around Queenstown is famed for its pinot noir.
