Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
Their geyser was for us a huge disappointment.
It only fired water up 3 metres high and it did not last very long. The park was decent but it felt like the same over and over.

Waitomo Glowworm Caves
We were lucky to get a private tour in the caves.
We paid $59 each for a very short trip. We felt that it was overpriced and no value for money.

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
The great walk is so beautiful and a must see in New Zealand.
The walk is free and the tracks very well kept.

North Island ▷ Taupo Region ▷ Taupo ▷
Spa Park
This spa is amazing.
It is free, authentic, cosy and easily accessible. It is by the Huka Falls river, so you can swim in both hot and cold water, just metres apart.

Huka Falls to Aratiatia Rapids Walking Track
It is free and wonderful.
The Huka Falls is easily accessible and easy to see. The water looks amazing going down the long fall.

The Redwoods
Beautiful trees and nice calm feeling in the forest - great walks for all levels, very peaceful.

North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Tauranga ▷
McLaren Falls Camping Area
Place to stay overnight or visit during the day.
After nightfall, there is an absolutely amazing free glowworm walk. It is a true wonderland and quiet with no people.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Motueka ▷
Riwaka Resurgence Track
Cold water - really!!
However it was for free and the small waterfall was exquisite to jump into.

Taupo Tandem Skydiving
They are so professional and very personal.
The different camera options are so amazing. The freefall video is so personal. They are the cheapest place in New Zealand.
Thanks Mikkel, we've just changed our freefall video to be more personal so it's awesome to hear that you like it. Thanks for taking the time to review us!

Waimangu Volcanic Valley
They offer a lot of different geothermal activity.
They had lots of different areas and viewing spots making the walking trip interesting all the way through.

Aratiatia Rapids Viewpoint
It is nothing compared to Huka Falls.
It is free and nice to see, but be there on time. It filled up slowly and lacked something dramatic.

North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Paihia ▷
Discover the Bay
Bay of Islands offers lots of great tours.
There are plenty of dolphins in the bay. We even saw a whale and penguins. It is quite expensive, but good value for money.
