New Zealand's largest National Park, Fiordland, covers most of the western part of the district. Stewart Island is at the south end of the district, and is a world reknown tourism destination. The principal town in Southland is Invercargill.

The Southern Institute of Technology is a noted tertiary institution, located in Invercargill and provides a wide range of courses to suit any student. There are also a wide range of activities available in Southland, many based around the stunning natural resources of the area.
