North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Patea ▷
Waverley Beach Camping Ground
There are powered sites for $10 available with a kitchen and water and showers, but also a free area with toilets.
It is the most beautiful beach next to the camp with amazing cliff formations.

Interislander Ferry
The ferry turned after 1/4 of the journey to save a passenger that had had a heart attack, so I felt safe.

Museum of New Zealand
Really nice museum with full WIFI and free entry, you learn something about Maori culture or volcanoes and other interesting stuff.

Hot Water Beach
We dug our own hot pool at low tide, that was awesome but there are too many tourists who sit in your pool and it is not easy to get a good hole with the right temperature.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Abel Tasman Kayaks
We did freedom kayaking for three days, saw baby seals and enjoyed beautiful beaches and lagoons.

The Barn Cabins & Camping
Nice staff, organic surrounding, herb garden, a lot of showers, good kitchen but no free internet, many insects and no mobile reception and no microwave!

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
A must do in NZ!
It is a good workout and some parts are hard to climb but it is doable for beginners and you can see amazing lakes and volcanic craters.

North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Mt Taranaki ▷
Mount Taranaki Summit Track
Very hard track, doable in 10 hours by beginners with moderate fitness, for me it was the hardest journey in my life, but it was free!

Taupo Tandem Skydiving
I did a 15000 ft jump and paid a lot for videos and photos which we did not know from the website.
However, it was a good experience.
