Top Activities in the South Island
The South Island of New Zealand is packed with beautiful scenery, adrenaline activities and fantastic food. When visiting the South Island, it is easy to be overwhelmed with choices on what you should do and where you should visit. We have devised our list of the top activities that you should experience on your visit. If you are interested in these activities, by booking a tour with Haka Tours, you can get exclusively discounted prices on all of these activities and add them on to your tour in just a few simple clicks.
Milford Sound Journey
The Milford Sound is a once-in-a-lifetime trip that is not to be missed. The Milford Sound is the headline tourist destination for New Zealand. But while it is beautiful, accommodation is limited and the roads can be treacherous if you do not know your way around. It is the wettest part of the country (it is that rain that makes the scenery so lush and full of life). That is why it makes sense to take a day tour there, and take a cruise around to see it. Tours are leaving Queenstown daily. If you are looking for the ultimate trip, bypass the bus and take a plane ‘n cruise tour. With tours starting at just $160NZD with Haka Tours, you won’t regret it.

It is the highest bungy in the Southern Hemisphere, and the atmosphere is amazing. Add it on to your trip with Haka Tours for just $250NZD. Or, if it seems a little too extreme for you, come along and watch your friends take the plunge!
Franz Josef Glacier Hike
