What makes South Island a must-visit destination?

Have you been searching for the best South Island Tours? Look no further. Choose from a wide range of customised Thrillophilia’s South Island packages and explore its dense forests, sandy beaches, and huge mountains.


You can visit Mount Cook, which is known as the country's tallest mountain. Choose to explore the mountain through a trekking expedition. Or enjoy a boat ride with experts and admire icebergs in a Glacial Lake. Did you know? It happens to be the only lake (with icebergs) in the world that can be accessed via a boat tour!


Explore the 150-year-old Larnach Castle, which is located in Dunedin. You will get to learn more about the history of Dunedin at the castle. Admire the huge ballroom, tall tower, and the beautiful gardens. Also, don't forget to enjoy the high tea available at 3 PM every day!


You can visit Stewart Island, which is considered a hub for off-beat adventures. Get a chance to look at the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis), during the night at the island. You can also go on a Kiwi Spotting Tour, where you can go out with a group searching for Kiwis with a torchlight. Enjoy a bird-watching tour and get a chance to spot birds like Yellowhead, Brown Skua, Rifleman, and more.


Enjoy a day trip to Milford and Doubtful Sounds, which are listed among the UNESCO World Heritage sites. You will fall in love with the scenic views of lush green cliffs, and flowing waters. During the trip, you can also check out Lake Te Anau - the largest lake in the country after Lake Taupo.

Booked: Glimpse of New Zealand | Discover Fjords, Forests and Hobbit Homes

Three of us planned our New Zealand trip through Thrillophilia, and it worked out perfectly for a boys’ vacation. The stays were in great locations, transfers were smooth, and the itinerary had the right mix of adventure and sightseeing. We could just enjoy New Zealand without constantly checking schedules or figuring out the next step, which made the whole trip far more enjoyable.

Five friends from Coimbatore we have been wanting to do New Zealand for years and finally made it happen. Domestic flight between islands was timed well. Hotels were comfortable and guides were knowledgeable. The team was reachable throughout despite the time difference. One suggestion the Auckland to Queenstown travel day felt a bit long. Could be better structured. Otherwise a brilliant trip. Value for money and excellent coordination.

New Zealand is the most scenic country I have ever seen. Millford Sound, Queenstown's adrenaline, Rotorua's geothermal wonders and the Hobbiton movie set all in one trip. Every single day of this tour had at least one moment that made me stop and just stare in disbelief. Come here at least once in your lifetime - this package covers all the essential reasons why.

This was our 2nd anniversary trip and it had to be special. Milford Sound on a clear day with waterfalls on every cliff face was indescribable. Hobbiton was pure nostalgia for us Lord of the Rings fans. Thrillophilia planned the South Island and North Island split perfectly. Their on ground team is very supportive.
