Southern Scenic Route

A remote road along the very southern coast of New Zealand. Here are some pictures.

Milford Road and Milford Sound

I just got back from an incredible trip up the famed Milford Road to the Milford Sound and then went sea kayaking around the sound.

Queenstown

Queenstown is sort of the hub and center for adventure in the southern part of the south island. Also the home of the original bungy jump, which I had to try! Check out the video!

Wanaka

Lake Wanaka and the surrounding area were absolutely amazing, some of the most beautiful country in New Zealand. I went skydiving for the first time! The views from 15K feet were spectacular. Here are the pictures from around Lake Wanaka and then the skydiving pictures below.


Mount Aspiring National Park

An absolutely beautiful park in the south of New Zealand.

I visited the famous glaciers along the west coast.

Arthur’s Pass National Park

Arthur’s Pass is a pass through the mountains on the route between the east and west coasts of New Zealand. There’s a little village and lost of amazing hikes. I hiked Avalanche Peak and it was cloudy, but I still got some interesting shots.
