2New Zealand’s South Island: A Southern Hemisphere Autumn
While most people associate fall with the Northern Hemisphere, New Zealand’s South Island offers a stunning autumn experience in the Southern Hemisphere, typically between March and May. The island’s landscapes, including the Southern Alps, lakes, and national parks, are breathtaking during this time.
One of the best places to experience fall in New Zealand is Arrowtown, a historic gold mining village surrounded by hills that turn brilliant shades of red and yellow. Nearby Queenstown offers plenty of outdoor activities, including hiking, bungee jumping, and jet boating on the Shotover River. For a more relaxed experience, enjoy a wine tour in the Central Otago region.
