South Island

The South Island is known for its dramatic landscapes, from alpine peaks and glacial lakes to wide open plains and world-class wine regions. Queenstown, where PPG Tours has a dedicated office, is a hub for incentives and luxury programmes as well as the self-proclaimed ‘adventure capital of the world,’ while Milford Sound and Fiordland showcase some of the country’s most striking natural settings. Further north, Christchurch is a hub for international flights and offers excellent venues with access to the Southern Alps. Marlborough delivers premium wine country, Kaikōura is renowned for its marine life encounters, and Tekapo’s Dark Sky Reserve provides one of the best stargazing experiences in the world. As a nationally operating DMC, PPG Tours covers the entire South Island with local teams in every region, ensuring seamless delivery and strong local expertise.
