Tourist Information About Southland

Southland is rich in natural wonders and cultural sites. The Nugget Point Lighthouse commands stunning views over rocky islets and the Pacific Ocean, especially at sunrise. Nearby, the Cathedral Caves impress with their towering sea-carved chambers accessible during low tide. History buffs will appreciate Tunnel Hill, the world’s southernmost railway tunnel, a reminder of early engineering feats in this remote region.

One of Southland’s unique geological treasures is the petrified forest at Curio Bay, where fossilised trees from the Jurassic period lie alongside living forests. Wildlife lovers flock here hoping to spot the endangered Yellow-Eyed Penguin and pods of tiny Hector’s dolphins. The enchanting Purakaunui Falls is among New Zealand’s most photographed waterfalls and offers easy access through native bush. For those seeking dramatic landscapes, Slope Point marks the southern edge of the South Island with vast ocean views and a quirky photo spot at the yellow signpost. These attractions in Southland showcase the region’s blend of ancient history, wildlife, and breathtaking scenery.
