Alex Knob Track
More of a climb that a walk but the views of the glacier are beautiful if it is a clear day.
The helicopters make it quite noisy to begin with, but that soon stops as you get higher.

Hot Water Beach
Great for heading down to beach at low tide with a shovel to dig your own hot water pool.
Great if it is at sunset too.

Koura Bay Fishing Charters
As a first time fisher I had a fab time.
Easy to catch fish such as Blue Cod. Also saw the crayfish pots being brought up and it was cooked for us when we returned to land.
