South Island Wide Bird Watching and Sanctuaries
The South Island is the larger of the two main islands of New Zealand, but the least densely populated. Christchurch—known as 'the Garden City'—is the largest city in the South Island. New Zealand is home to many exotic and native birds, including some that live nowhere else on earth. Join a bird watching tour in the South Island, visit a bird sanctuary or observe birds on a bird watching trip yourself. more
