뉴질랜드 여행 의 하이라이트 는 당연히 뉴질랜드 남섬 여행 이 라고 할 정도 로 아름다운 풍경 을 쉽 게 마주 할 수 있 습니다 . 그 중 에서 도 뉴질랜드 남 섬 에서 가장 아름다운 풍경 을 가지 고 있 는 , 여행지 들 , 사진 으로 감상 해 보 시 죠 . 저 는 다 가 보 기 는 했 는데 , 몇몇 곳 은 가 본지 가 오래 되 어서 이제 가물가물 하 기 도 하 네요 . If you ' re anything like me , picking a starting point can be a fairly daunting prospect . Over the years and after many road trips , I ' ve finally compiled a list of the best views you can find on the South Island . Which one is your favourite ? 1 . Mitre Peak in Milford Sound ( 밀포드 사운드 ) Few spots in New Zealand can wow quite like Milford Sound . Topping everyone ' s bucket list , it ' s always worth the long drive down or costly flight over . It ' s one of those rare places that ' s beautiful no matter the weather . Even if it ' s raining you ' ll be graced with hundreds of temporary waterfalls cascading down from the mists and , if you ' re lucky , you ' ll get a glimpse of the iconic Mitre Peak dominating Milford Sound . 2 . Curio Bay in the Catlins ( 캐틀린 스 ) If you ' re looking for a peaceful and quiet seaside escape , the Catlins tucked away on the bottom of the South Island has always been one of my favourite spots . Endless beaches , beautiful forest walks , and a few quirky spots in between await you down here . Well off the beaten tourist trail , you ' ll only find the most interesting of people down here , if you meet anyone at all . My go - to camping location is in Curio Bay , a great little surf spot , and home to a colony of endangered Hector ' s dolphins , which might even accompany you on a surf . 3 . Mt . Roy , Wanaka ( 와나카 ) Roy ' s Peak ( or Mt Roy ) in Wanaka is quite possibly one of the most Instagrammed spots in New Zealand . Overlooking Wanaka and down the Matukituki Valley with a panorama of Tititea / Mt Aspiring , this is not a hike to forget your camera on . It ' s a bit of a slog uphill , along an easy four - wheel - drive track for a few hours with no shade or water spots , but trust me , it ' s worth it . And if that ' s not up your alley , you can always hop in a helicopter and fly to nearby Coromandel Peak for the same views without the hassle . 4 . Punakaiki on the West Coast ( 웨스트 코스트 ) The West Coast represents what the rest of New Zealand used to look like back in the day , before so much of the forest was cleared for farming . As you drive along the coastline , or wander in the rainforests , it ' s easy to see why . I ' ve never seen such a wild and ancient place . It ' s as if dinosaurs or moas could pop out at any instant . And nothing is more spectacular than watching the huge waves pummel against Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki , shooting water dozens of metres into the air through the many blowholes . 5 . Abel Tasman ( 아벨 타즈 만 ) While the South Island is known for its stunning glaciated peaks around the Southern Alps , let ' s not forget the tropical white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Abel Tasman . Whenever I am in need of some sunshine , I head there . Make time for a paddle around coves and inlets like Torrent Bay , or at Split Apple Rock in Kaiteriteri . 6 . Kaikoura ( 카이코라 ) If I didn ' t live in Wanaka , I ' d probably live in Kaikoura . With huge mountains and an epic coastline , it really is the best of both worlds . Whether you are whale - watching from a plane or boat , or swimming with dolphins , there is an activity for everyone in Kaikoura . Just make sure to eat some crays while you ' re there , and watch the sunset from the viewpoint above the town . It ' s a stunning spot . 7 . The Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve ( 테카포 호수 ) The South Island has some of the world ' s best stargazing , especially around the Mackenzie Basin in Canterbury . This encompasses Mt Cook , Tekapo , and Twizel . That means this area is intentionally maintained with almost no light pollution , so the stars shine here in a way you have likely never seen anywhere else in the world . And if you are really lucky , and are facing south at the right moment , you might even get a glimpse of the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights . 8 . Autumn in Arrowtown ( 에 로우 타운 ) Few places on the South Island experience autumn colours quite like Arrowtown . By April , this area comes alive with reds , oranges , and yellows , and makes it a beautiful place to spend a day or weekend , with so much to do within arm ' s reach . One of my favourite spots to see the colours is on the back road from Queenstown to Coronet Peak to Arrowtown . 9 . Marlborough ( 말보로 , 블레넘 ) Marlborough is one of those areas I retreat to for some rest and relaxation . There ' s a superb foodie scene , and the abundance of Sauvignon Blanc certainly helps . While I have a handful of favorite wineries I love to visit , none stand out quite like Yealands Estate near Blenheim . If you want to a visit a winery that packs a punch and has some of the best views , it ' s this one . 10 . Aoraki / Mt Cook ( 마운틴 쿡 ) I have saved the best for last , Aoraki / Mt Cook , New Zealand ' s biggest mountain . No matter where you stand , it never fails to impress . Just the drive down to the village will knock your socks off . You come in along neon blue Lake Pukaki , with Mt Cook shimmering in the distance . My top must - do is the Hooker Valley walk because it ' s stunning and pretty easy , and I love taking people who visit out there , but if you are feeling more intrepid , I ' d prepare an overnight pack and head up to the Mueller Hut . It ' s one of the most epic hikes I ' ve ever done . - Stuff -
