The best Fiordland National Park hiking trails
Fiordland National Park may be one of the wettest places in New Zealand, yet it’s one of the most stunning as well. The massive fjords are the major tourist attraction down here, however it also has a large variety of amazing hikes. As a matter of fact, some of the most amazing hikes that I’ve done in New Zealand, were in fact in Fiordland National Park. And I must say that overall, I’ve been quite lucky with the weather.

Omarama Clay Cliffs: a must see on the South Island
One of the lesser known tourist sights on the South Island of New Zealand are the Clay Cliffs near Omarama. I first visited in 2011 and went back in 2024.
