Dunedin is New Zealand's oldest city and has played an important role in New Zealand's rich history. The city features a particular combination of culture, wildlife and architecture. Dunedin Street Art Trail is a unique initiative whereby, an increasing number of blank walls are becoming the canvases of international street artists. The trail currently takes 90 minutes to complete. Dunedin is also home to the world's steepest street, Baldwin Street which is also the location of the world-famous Jaffa-Race, which involves 25,000 sweet treats being rolled down the street simultaneously.

Ulva Island is a small island lying within Paterson Inlet, which is part of Stewart Island/Rakiura in New Zealand. Its relative isolation, but easy access from Stewart Island has allowed it to become an important natural resource area.

Dusky Sound is a remote fiord located in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park, not far from Manapouri. The fiord is flanked mainly by lush greenery and imposing rocky outcrops. Dusky Sound is steeped in history, with Captain Cook having spent five weeks here in 1773. The explorer spent two months exploring the fiord extensively, charting its many arms and inlets, and marveling at the birdlife. Visitors can expect to find mountainous terrain with picturesque valleys and forests. Activities include fishing, kayaking and just simply taking in the breath-taking views.

Doubtful Sound is the second most popular tourist destination in New Zealand, after its sister, Milford Sound. The serene Doubtful Sound is the deepest fjord in Fiordland National Park at 421 metres deep and features numerous magical waterfalls, unusual flora and fauna and is famous for its eery silence. Manapouri is the base for excursions to Doubtful Sound. There are a number of ways for visitors to explore the beauty of the fiord, such as by taking a day or overnight cruise, scenic flight or by simply exploring it by kayak. Doubtful Sound provides the perfect opportunity to experience the beauty of New Zealand and the fiords.

A stunning blend of vertical cliff faces and magnificent waterfalls, Milford Sound is one of the most breathtaking locations in New Zealand. One of the best ways to experience it is on a boat cruise, sailing in the dark waters below. Scenic flights are also available so you can witness the beauty from above and also get a sense of the sheer scale of the landscape's stunning features. For those who enjoy hiking or trekking, the Milford Track is the ideal way to experience Milford Sound, winding your way up through some of the world's most astonishing wilderness.

The Snares Islands are located in the southern Pacific Ocean, forming a group of islands in New Zealand. The islands get their name, "The Snares" as they were known to pose a threat to boats. The islands have been a home to a nature reserve since 1977, which, as of 1978, has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
