Experience a bit of adventure in Queenstown’s ski fields, Kaikoura’s Whale Watching and Hanmer Spring’s Bungee Jump. As I crossed the Southern Alps, the South Island’s West Coast was a preferred region to explore. I was mesmerized with Hokitika`s frontier town feel along with its entrancing gold mining history and Franz Josef and Fox Glacier where I observed the glaciers coming downwards to the rainforest. This is an extraordinary occurrence which is not seen in many places.. I had a wonderful time journeying the south island in a campervan for hire.

I also enjoyed unrivalled views of Milford Sound and the globally renowned Mitre Peak. It is better to lookout for companies which offer campervan hire in the South Island and evaluate their rates.
