Details or Sample:
New Zealand"s newest national park has been named Rakiura, which means ´glowing skies". In this part of the world, the sky certainly does glow, with the shimmering lights of the Southern Aurora. If it all sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, remember that New Zealand is the location of choice for today"s fantasy movie makers.
Rakiura National Park really does look like another world, especially at night, when the Southern Aurora fills the sky. But it"s also an ideal place to a down to earth vacation, with walking tracks that take you through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.
Rakiura is situated on Stewart Island, which lies 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) from New Zealand"s south island. Rakiura caters directly for walkers. The Rakiura Track is the ´great walk", taking three days to complete on the island"s 25 kilometers of road (about 15 miles.) But there"s no hurry. There are plenty of hiker"s huts available along the way, so you can rest and enjoy the spectacular views.
Rakiura has one town, Oban, looking out over picturesque Halfmoon Bay, which offers various accommodation, as well as boats and water taxis to take you to more remote places on the island.
