North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Waiotapu ▷
Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
A worthwhile track to experience all the wonders of nature.
Lady Knox Geyser was slightly disappointing, but the rest of the park is magnificent.
-
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Timaru ▷
Kia Ora Campers
Great collection from the airport.
VW Crafter Auto, runs well, just a little tired inside.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Fox Glacier ▷
Fox Glacier / Te Ara o Tuawe Walk
Viewed 10 years earlier, it seemed a lot closer.
Also, it has lost some of its beauty (quite black, not vibrant blue).
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Punakaiki ▷
Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
Easy 10 minute walk.
Come at high tide if you can to see it at its most spectacular.
-
South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Mount Cook ▷
Hooker Valley Track
Excellent pathway with lots of steps, but well worth the view at the top.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Franz Josef ▷
Franz Josef Glacier Walk
Still the jewel in the crown, although the walk is a lot further than 10 years ago, but it has maintained its magnificent blue vibrant colouring.
The better of the two glaciers.
-
North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Hokianga ▷
Tane Mahuta Walk
Lovely short walk through the forest to see New Zealand's mightiest Kauri tree.
There is also the Four Sisters, four trees all growing together.
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Buller Gorge ▷
Buller Gorge Swingbridge
Lovely walks and picnic area.
Fabulous views from the bridge marred only for us by the pouring rain.
