Southern Scenic Route
The Southern Scenic Route is the key to unlocking the secrets of Coastal Otago and Southland. It stretches from Dunedin, the ‘wildlife capital of New Zealand’, to the spectacular bays and waterfalls in the Catlins, then along the rugged south coast to the magnificent Milford Sound in Fiordland.
Otago Central Rail Trail
A unique recreational facility and tourism attraction preserving, largely intact, an important part of Otago's history, 150km of the former railway line. It is now for use by walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders who can enjoy the unique Central Otago scenery and experience a sense of remoteness and history in the South Island of New Zealand.
Otago Goldfields Heritage Trail
Take a trip back through a golden era of New Zealand's history in the South Island's scenic Otago region. The romance and adventure of the gold rush days is easy to recapture in this rugged landscape which still bears the signs of the goldminers' struggles to win their fortunes by striking it rich.
