North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Ace Rental Cars
Budget small car, used them before, reliable but always take additional insurance to zero excess for the three month period involved.
The car always needs a good clean!

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
Royal Albatross Centre
To see a Royal Albatross you had to take a tour and only ONE albatross was visible.
The centre needs to be more 'open' that Feb/Mar is the best time to go! Expensive.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway
Go around the rocky coastline at lowtide!
Go at nesting time (Nov/Dec with red billed gulls) Try to avoid stepping on fur seals!!

Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre
Good representation of WWI fighter planes, and very interesting.

Marfells Beach Campsite
Our favourite DOC site with much improved facilities this year without spoiling its wild isolated basic attraction.

Abel Tasman Coast Track
Get yourself to Marahau and walk as far as you want to before turning back.
Perhaps you might decide to do all the track!!!

Milford Sound Day Cruises
We took the nature cruise but the commentary was a bit predictable having done this 17 years before!
Same script we think!!
