South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Abel Tasman Coast Track
Two and a half days kayaking through beautiful bays of Abel Tasman National Park.
Only thing I did not like were smelly toilets and booking of campsites which were too expensive.

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Matamata ▷
Rings Scenic Tours
Guided tour through the Hobbit village from the movie.
Really nice. You will get some interesting facts about the movie making and you can have a drink in the Green Dragon pub!! But there is no freedom of movement because it is all guided and limited.

North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Wellington ▷
Museum of New Zealand
Great exposition of sea life!
Also Maori historic artefacts such as weapons or art items.
-
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
The best track in New Zealand (for me) so far.
This is the land of the Lord of the Rings! Beautiful emerald lakes, nice bush walk and stunning views. I saw the Mount Doom!!

North Island ▷ Waikato ▷ Waitomo ▷
Waitomo Glowworm Caves
I think this is the best place to see the glowworms.
The ceiling of the caves looks like a night sky full of stars. 8/10 because of the high price.

North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Sky Tower
You can see the whole city from above.
There is also a restaurant and café. Not worth $30 for entry (half of this price would be enough).
