North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Tired and bug bitten but well worth the three days of paddling.
Watch out for rats in camp around your food.
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Starting at Mangautapopo we traversed up and over Tongariro with Mt Ngaruahoe views.
Stayed at Outerere hut. Great waterfall but the coldest night in New Zealand.
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Golden Bay ▷
Awesome white sand beach with some waves.
Wind can whip sand in your eyes. Be careful, bring sun shade/shelter and plenty of water.
