Southern Institute of Technology Tours

Enjoy awe-inspiring nature hikes in the South Island’s native bush, watching for wildlife that can only be found in New Zealand.

Sitting high above the water’s edge, this historic lighthouse has been a fixture of the Catlins for more than a century.

Cross rolling fields and dense macrocarpa forest to reach this isolated bay, home to hollow waves and a colony of sea lions.

See the powerful natural feature named after a Māori chief by following a short trail on a private sheep farm.

Visit the Catlins’ most famous waterfalls to see why it has adorned postcards and postage stamps for decades.

Take a drive on the Southern Scenic Route to embark on a walk through regenerating forest that leads to two of the Catlins’ most photogenic falls.
