About
Adventure Southland Limited, located on North Road in Lorneville just outside Invercargill, is one of Southland's most respected outdoor adventure operators. Specialising in guided experiences that showcase the region's rugged natural beauty — from pristine forests and river valleys to coastal landscapes — they've built a strong reputation for combining genuine local knowledge with professional safety standards. Whether it's jet boating, hiking, or multi-day expeditions, Adventure Southland offers access to corners of Southland that most visitors miss, with guides who understand the terrain intimately.
Visitors should expect a hands-on, personable experience rather than polished resort treatment. The atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious — you're working with locals who live here and genuinely love showing others what makes the region special. Most outings range from half-day to full-day adventures, making them flexible for different schedules and fitness levels. Families find the safety protocols reassuring, couples appreciate the intimate group sizes, and solo travellers often bond quickly with other adventurers. Bring layers and waterproofs; Southland's weather changes fast. With a 4.7-star rating across 41 reviews, the consistent feedback centres on knowledgeable guides, well-maintained equipment, and authentic experiences that feel less 'tourist activity' and more 'day out with a local friend.'
Adventure Southland fits naturally into a broader Southland trip, especially if you're combining Invercargill's cultural attractions with outdoor time. The location is convenient as a base or half-way stop between Invercargill and Fiordland. Best visited in the warmer months (December–February) when days are longer and conditions more stable, though spring and autumn offer fewer crowds. Book ahead during peak season; flexible cancellation policies are standard practice here.
