Did you know that you can also chase the Northern Lights in New Zealand’s South Island? You don’t have to go to South America to enjoy the pink and purple Aurora Australis♥️ Many people who go to the South Island of New Zealand will definitely arrange a trip to #Milford Sound Going to Milford Sound will definitely pass through a small town - #Te Anau I have lived here for five months and have seen the Aurora four times. Although the Aurora Index is not too high, it is rare to get good weather in the town with the highest humidity in the world I originally wanted to try my luck to see the Aurora, and went south to find a job and stay for a long time. I didn’t expect that my dream would come true on the third day! I couldn't calm down my excitement for a long time, and I still couldn't believe that I was really standing under the aurora! So I suggest you check the Aurora Index when you go there. Stay a few more days in Te Anau. 👩🏻🎓Aurora Classroom "Aurora" is a green light hanging in the dark night. It is a natural phenomenon that you must see once in your life. Aurora is called Aurora or Polar Light in English. Many people use the term "Northern Light", but "Northern Light" is only suitable for the aurora that appears in the north. Also, the Northern Light is called "Aurora Borealis"; What I saw was the "Southern Light" near the South Pole, so the English name is "Southern Light" or "Aurora Australis", but relatively few people go to the South Pole to watch the aurora. 🌏 Places to view the Aurora Borealis: Lake Tekapo, New Zealand (New Zealand) Invercargill, New Zealand (New Zealand) Stewart Island, New Zealand (New Zealand) Bluff, New Zealand (New Zealand) 🌎 Top five places to view the Northern Lights: Fairbanks, Alaska (United States) Kiruna, Sweden (Sweden) Finnmark, Norway (Norway) Yellowknife, Canada (Canada) Reykjavik, Iceland (Iceland) ✅ Principles of Aurora Photography Use the 448 principle as the base photo 4-second shutter speed 4.0 large aperture 8000ISO After getting started, you can start adjusting the exposure length Generally, 15 seconds is enough to take a clear Aurora photo The camera itself is also very important My small photo will have a lot of noise #Aurora #100 ways to travel #New Zealand

Te Anau is a must-go town on the way to Milford Sound. It takes about 2 hours to get from Queenstown to Te Anau. We will stop at the rest stop here before continuing our journey. Alpine Centre Cafe & Bar is right next to the gas station. It not only provides a pleasant resting place and free toilets, but you can also buy feed to feed the cute alpacas!! 📍Alpine Centre Cafe & Bar 2 Sandy Brown Road, Southland 9679New Zealand #June2024

Te Anau is a very important small city. It is a small town on the way to Milford Sound. Because the journey to the sound is long, some people choose to stay in Te Anau for one night. In addition, you can also participate in the famous Te Anau Glowworm Cave activities in South Island. New Zealand has two series of campsites, TOP 10 and Kiwi. Te Anau in South Island happens to have both, namely Te Anau Lakeview Kiwi Holiday Park and Te Anau TOP 10 holiday park. Lakeview is farther away from the city. We chose the campsite at Te Anau TOP 10 holiday park, which is located on the roadside and very close to the city. We went to the supermarket to restock our supplies before going to the campsite. The campsite is small and beautiful, with a game area next to it, and the kitchen and bathroom are close. The facilities are complete, the public kitchen is very convenient for self-catering, and there are also coin-operated self-service washing machines and dryers, which is super convenient.

One person, two mountain houses, three days, 61 kilometers, 96710 steps 👣 During these three days, I felt the power of nature in the mountains and forests. The weather in the Fiordland region can be unpredictable, especially in the mountains. I'm lucky that the weather wasn't too bad these three days. Take a counter-clockwise route to complete the trail. -🏞Day 2 19.2km 31566 steps👣- Main quest: From Luxmore hut to Iris burn hut Branch: Luxmore cave, Mt. Luxmore summit I woke up at six the next morning. There is actually no need to set an alarm clock in the mountain house⏰ People usually get up at sunrise and go to bed at sunset. After packing up early in the morning, we set out for a nearby branch trail - cave exploration. The scenery along the way is spectacular Our cabin is located on the ridgeline Lake Te Anau in the foreground Surrounded by mountains, very magnificent scenery If you have friends who come to climb Kepler, Highly recommend staying one night at Luxmore. The second day’s route was the most anticipated. Almost the entire journey was spent walking on the mountain ridge. The surrounding mountains and fjords are in full view. I have to say that the trekking poles are really powerful. Otherwise, going up and down all the way is really exhausting. The next day was a six-hour trip. Does not include branch time. There will be a Shelter (rest hut) about two hours later. When the weather is bad, you can hide inside. Or take a short nap. One of the branches is the highest point of Luxmore Mountain. Now that we are here, we can’t miss it. The strong wind made us all a little timid. But no one wants to miss any moment of beautiful memories. So they climbed to the top one after another, There were seven or eight Kea (kea parrots) accompanying us along the way. They are still cute and funny. But be careful they will come and steal your food😋 Hahahaha 😄 Thank you very much, God bless you, The next morning was also sunny and fine. Until entering the first shelter, It suddenly started to rain and the mountain was freezing cold. We watched from inside the house as the climbers came in one after another to take shelter from the wind and rain. This scene is like a movie scene. At that moment, I felt an indescribable feeling of being touched and grateful. After about 30 minutes of rest, Ready to go on. At this time, the clouds that originally covered the mountaintops dispersed again. Although the wind on the mountain ridge is still strong, But when I saw the clouds disperse, I just felt like a miracle was happening! Hahahaha 😄 I quickly told the other hikers in the house that the weather had improved. So we continued on our journey! In the mountain wonderland, you focus on your steps If you are not careful, you will never be able to return to the human world! On the ridge, 360-degree panoramic view, very spectacular #Good things are worth waiting for and paying for #NewZealand's mountains taught me that the peaks of life are worth the effort People passing by would encourage each other and share road conditions. Some are lovers, some are married couples, some are friends. There was also a person walking alone, It is very common to climb mountains or travel alone here. You won't be considered unsafe or in need of care just because you are a girl. I like this attitude that everyone thinks is normal! #Because everyone has unlimited potential You can freely challenge your own limits. Without any excessive dependence or worry. After leaving the mountain ridge, we entered the mountain forest area. There is about an hour of downhill section. This section of the trail made me very glad that I took the counter-clockwise route to complete the trail. Otherwise, the zigzag route downhill will turn into an uphill route, which will be very tiring! The cabin on the second day was in the valley So the route for the second day was to rush all the way to the highest peak, Then rush all the way down to the bottom! There are many stairs along the way downhill. I really like this amplitude, it’s very exciting and enjoyable! When we arrived at the mountain hut, after unloading our burdens, First, take a deep breath of relief. Then spit it out slowly. Finally, 2/3 is completed. Wait until 8pm to talk in the mountain house, The administrator shared with us the Kiwi's calls in a very interesting way. There is a good chance that you can hear them lurking in the bushes near the mountain hut at night! 🐦 I actually heard it at around three in the morning that day! But it is not easy to find a large patch of grass. Plus, Sandfly was acting recklessly outside the mountain house. I decided to stay in my sleeping bag and listen to the wild kiwi birds singing!

It’s a Fjord not a sound. Maoris – the native people of New Zealand named it Piopiotahi after the piopio bird, endemic to New Zealand but so unlucky now extinct. Milford sound was name after European settlers discovered this place. Here sees more rainy days than dry because of its geographical location. Hence, more waterfalls for the tourists plus the snow lays on top of those limestone dissolve. Furthermore, the sunset and sunrise are worth overnight for spectacular photos. Take a boat ride could spot some wildlife like dolphins, seals, penguins, Kea etc. with a cup of coffee sitting on the cruise ship enjoy those amazing engaging views. #2023travelwish #awesomepic #couplestrip #mytripvlog#wintervacation #newzealand #Southland #southisland

A lake where you can enjoy a pleasant walk along the lakeside Lake Te Anau The most famous one here is the firefly tour Most of the time, the tour will not be cancelled due to weather conditions. But there is a chance that it will rain heavily upstream The cave entrance for viewing fireflies was flooded and the event was cancelled. #NewZealand #SouthIsland #TeAnau

💟 Because we were going to Milford Sound, and to make the journey more convenient, we stayed in the town of Te Anau for 2 nights. I originally just considered Te Anau as a transit station, but I unexpectedly fell in love with this place. 🌈 Te Anau is very small, with only one street along the lake. There are very few people in the whole town, making it particularly quiet. The streets are clean and tidy, the town is fresh and cute, and it is definitely worth a stop. There are frequent sun showers here, and rainbows can often be seen after the rain. 🏨 We stayed at [Lakeside Motel Te Anau], a lake view motel with a balcony facing Lake Te Anau. The studio has a kitchen and a separate bedroom, making it very comfortable to stay in. (Figure 4-18) 🛍️ There is a large supermarket, FreshChoice, in the town, 3 minutes’ drive from the hotel. We go there every day to buy things. 🌟 You can navigate by walking or driving📍Marakura Wharf (Pictures 1-3). The bridge is particularly photogenic at sunset, with the 🏔️ in the background, it has a Lord of the Rings atmosphere. ⚠️[Tips] 1⃣️It only takes 1.5 hours to get to Milford Sound from Te Anau, which is easier than going from Queenstown. 2⃣️You can buy the earliest boat ticket from Te Anau to Fiordland. We bought the one at 9 o'clock. Not only are there fewer people on the boat during this period, but there are also frequent discounts. I bought the Southern Explorer on Bookme for NZ$95 per person. 3⃣️Fill up the gas in Te Anau before going to the fjord. There are no gas stations along the way⛽.

#0yentravelautumn On the bus tour from Queenstown to Milford Sound, we stopped in Te Anau on the way and took a short break. The small lakeside town of Te Anau has clear air and a peaceful landscape, and it was a luxurious moment to refresh in the middle of the journey. The blue Lake Te Anau was quiet and beautiful, and its surface reflected the surrounding mountains and sky, creating an atmosphere that seemed to gently welcome visitors. Taking a break here made my expectations for Milford Sound even higher. As we drove through the pastures where sheep and cows were relaxing, the journey to Milford Sound with the changing beauty of nature seemed to weave a story.

😉 Winter has arrived in China, but we can't help but miss the vibrant spring 🥹. So, why not travel to New Zealand and embrace the spring season 💐. ✨ The South Island is dotted with lakes and majestic glaciers 💧; the North Island is home to hot springs and charming volcanoes. Both places exude irresistible charm and are super fun to visit!! —— 🙌🏻 North Island: ▫️ Hobbiton 🇳🇿 This is the filming location of the movies "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" 📍. When you step into this land, it's like walking into a fairy tale world. The immersive feeling is simply indescribable 🍬. ▫️ Te Anau Glowworm Caves The Te Anau Glowworm Caves are truly magical! Here, you can fully appreciate the beauty of nature. You can also explore the complex limestone passages, whirlpools, and underground waterfalls in the cave 🧊. Imagine sailing into a cave with thousands of glowworms, the scene is simply dreamy ✨. —— 🙌🏻 South Island: ▫️ Fox Glacier Hiking Adventure The Fox Glacier is winding and long, a 12-kilometer-long maritime glacier 💧. There is a professional helicopter shuttle service. After flying over the dense tropical rainforest to reach the glacier, you can start an exciting glacier adventure 😆. It's really great! ▫️ Queenstown Skydiving Experience Wow, it feels so good to fulfill a wish! Skydiving has always been my little wish 🫧, and now it has finally come true in Queenstown. Jumping from the cabin door, the thrill brought by the speed is simply irresistible 🤣, it's so cool! ▫️ Milford Sound Day Experience Milford Sound is one of the most famous attractions in New Zealand 1️⃣!

We just returned from an unforgettable 11-day road trip around New Zealand’s South Island, and one of our most unexpected highlights was stumbling upon the most charming llama and alpaca farm on our way to Milford Sound! 🦙💛 While driving through Te Anau, we came across Alpine Centre Cafe—a hidden gem that not only offers a cozy spot to grab a coffee but is also home to the cutest flock of llamas and alpacas. For just 1 NZD, you can feed and pet these adorable fluffballs. Trust us, it’s worth every cent! When we pulled up, we were immediately drawn to the cafe’s relaxed vibe. Inside, we found bags of nuts for sale at the counter—perfect for feeding the llamas and alpacas just outside. With treats in hand, we headed to the pen, where we were greeted by some very eager and very fluffy friends. The llamas and alpacas were more than happy to indulge in a little snack, and we quickly fell in love with their quirky personalities. One of the best tips we can offer is to visit in the morning. We arrived early and had the place almost entirely to ourselves. The quiet morning hours made the experience even more special, as we got to enjoy some quality time with the animals without the usual crowds. Plus, the morning light made for some amazing photos! The Alpine Centre Cafe is located at 5 Milford Road in Te Anau, just about a two-hour drive from Milford Sound. They’re open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so you have plenty of time to swing by during your road trip. At just 1 NZD for a bag of nuts, it’s an affordable and fun stop that’s perfect for animal lovers. We absolutely loved this detour, and it ended up being one of the most delightful surprises of our trip. Whether you’re heading to Milford Sound or just exploring the South Island, this spot should definitely be on your itinerary. It’s a fantastic way to break up the drive, stretch your legs, and enjoy some unforgettable llama love. 🌿🚗✨ Rating this experience? 10000/10! We’re already planning our next visit. #newzealand #milfordsound #roadtrip #southisland #myhiddengems
