If you find yourself with a little spare time and you don’t mind traveling 20 miles, take a look at Westland Tai Poutini National Park. This lively place has a world of things to keep you entertained. Among the first stops you make here should be Franz Josef Glacier, Lake Matheson and Fox Glacier. The locals will also likely point you toward Mount Cook, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Hooker Valley Track. (But we’re also huge fans of Tasman Glacier and Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre.)
