South Island Loop

Day by day

Red is a hard time. Amber is an open decision. Photos rotate on their own; use the arrows to flip through.

Map

Pinch or scroll to zoom, drag to pan. Pick a day to see that leg.

Real coastline, lakes, ice and highways (Natural Earth). The route follows the highways at town-to-town detail, good for orientation, not turn-by-turn. For driving, use the Directions buttons, and download the South Island in Apple Maps for offline use before you leave. Glenorchy, Milford and Mt Cook have little or no signal.
