North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Te Awanga ▷
Cape Kidnappers Walking Track
Nice walk along the coast, you see thousands of big birds to which you can get very close.
Best time in December when they have babies.
-
North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Dargaville ▷
Trounson Kauri Park Campground
Clean, well equipped showers (hot) and kitchen, quiet, hidden in the middle of the great forest, unfortunately a lot of mosquitos.
-
North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Bridge to Nowhere Tours
Jetboat trip to Bridge to Nowhere, back by canoe.
Jet boat is cool, nice guide and interesting facts, for inexperienced canoe drivers the rapids might be scary, a bit too expensive.
-
North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Rotorua ▷
Waiteti Trout Stream Holiday Park
Nice little place, clean, good facilities, free kayaks to explore Lake Rotorua on your own!

North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Kaitaia ▷
Te Paki Stream
Great experience in sunny weather conditions, you feel like you are in the desert.
-
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Impressive walk through bizaare landscape, we also climbed up it.
Ngauruhoe which was very exhausting, but worth it! Cool to see the 'Valley of Mordor'.
-
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ St Arnaud ▷
Kerr Bay Campsite
Nice place at the lake, hot showers and kitchen, access to many walks, but heaps of sandflies.
-
North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Matamata ▷
Wairere Falls Track
Nice walk through the forest, if there is less water in the river you can go to the edge of the falls which are around 50m high - an amazing experience!
-
North Island ▷ Taupo Region ▷ Taupo ▷
Sail Fearless
Cheapest way to see the Maori carvings on Lake Taupo, free drink included.
Very relaxing swim in the lake also possible, just a small number of people on the boat.
-
North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Wellington ▷
Red Rocks Track
Nice walk along the coast.
We have never seen such huge waves before - very impressive; although we just saw 3 seals (it was not the season, May to August), we could go very close to them to take some funny pictures. :-)
