Slope Point

Closer to the South Pole than the Equator, the intense winds at the South Island's most southern point have sculpted a forest into surreal shapes.

About

Due to the unbroken sea between Slope Point and Antarctica, the area receives intense and uninterrupted Antarctic wind. To protect their sheep, farmers planted trees to provide a windbreak, but over a century of savage weather has warped and tangled the tiny forest into a thing of surreal beauty. While photographing the trees is what brings most visitors, Slop Point's geographic location is an attraction in itself. Located 5140 km south of the Equator and 4803 km (there's a road sign), this is the most southern point on New Zealand's south island.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

Our drivers are available 24/7, so you can book a trip at the time that suits your needs. And if you ever need assistance, our Customer Service team is available around the clock.

If your desired route is not listed on our website, don't worry! You can request a custom trip! We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, and maybe even add it as a regular route!

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
