Trip report - 8 days South Island (NZ)
 

I will like to share my south island trip report with anyone who is planning for a trip to NZ. This trip was in 2011, but I have just updated most of the informations to the best of my knowledge. I hope it will benefit any future travelers to this amazing country :)

Gorgeous photographs! Thanks for posting them.

Thank you for the compliment Sue_xx_yy. New Zealand is one of the most beautiful country we have been to; the scenery is as spectacular as Switzerland!

Thank you for posting this link to your photos and report, styrx. Your whirlwind tour was certainly in a great part of our country.

Absolutely beautiful stryx - thanks you for posting. Looks like you had some fab weather in Milford - lucky you!

tanks, stryx - bmking for planning the trip which so far only exists in my head!

We love New Zealand so much that we plan to visit again; hopefully this time we will visit the north island?

@ dottyp, you lucky kiwi get to stay in such a beautiful country!
@ Melnq8, yes we were extremely lucky at the Milford sound, no rain.
@ annhig, hope my blog helps you in the planning stage, which is often the hardest.

Hi Styrx,

I enjoyed your trip report. An interesting tidbit was you picking up Dart River Safari trip at approx 50% off from GrabOne. I was wondering if you could make a list of such money saving tips that you have realized in retrospect (for ex: using certain websites for rides, or booking certain things after reaching there or whatever). These tips could save hundreds of dollars.

Beautiful!!! What a great way to do a trip report! Thanks for sharing.

Hi marcopolo123, as far as I remember for NZ, GrabOne is the best for saving on rides as they post the offer quite regularly. You can also check out Groupon Australia/ NZ and Scoopon to pick up some other deal.

@Songdoc, thank you for liking my trip report style; I am not someone who can write to great length, so would rather post pictures instead!
