While I travel the world, I usually love to explore off the beaten places. Places that are secluded and not many people know about their existence. Typically, I get to see such places thanks to couchsurfing application where locals tell me about them or I somehow accidentally end up at such places thanks to my curious personality.<\/h4>\n

In this article I will provide you with few tips for off the beaten places of South Island of New Zealand. You might have heard about these places but usually they are not considered to be typical sightseeing spots for tourists exploring the beauty of New Zealand.<\/h4>\n

Katiki lighthouse<\/strong><\/h2>\n

New Zealand is famous for its unique wildlife such as blue or yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals, sea lions, dolphins, etc \u2026 Katiki lighthouse located 80km North of Dunedin (the second biggest city of South island) is THE place for watching fur seals and yellow-eyed penguins<\/strong>. There are dozens of fur seals lying around so you have to be careful not to step into one of them. You get to see yellow-eyed penguins mainly between 3pm and 5pm, <\/u>after this time the lighthouse area is actually closed.<\/p>\n
