Views from Mount Alfred, a climb upto 1475m , near Glenorchy, Queenstown. About the only hike I’ve done which I don’t recommend doing. Its easy to lose the trail, and there’s no protection from the wind on the ridge at the top.
Paradise, near Glenorchy. Setting for several scenes from Lord of the Rings. Viewed from Mount Alfred.

One of the highlights of the South Island was an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound.
En-route via Lake Manapori (1 hr)
View of Doubtful Sound from the top of Wilmot Pass (an hour by bus to cross the pass).
Our ship in Doubtful Sound. Only one ship cruises overnight so all the crowds are left behind.
Kayaking in the Sound.
