A classic route could involve spending a few days exploring Fiordland National Park (consider a Milford Sound cruise), then heading to the Catlins for coastal walks and wildlife spotting. Allow time for Invercargill, perhaps visiting the museum and art gallery. If you're into hiking, the Kepler Track offers a challenging but rewarding multi-day trek.
