South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Arthur's Pass ▷
Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
One hour walk to the waterfall, beautiful nature, good views, large waterfall, not too many visitors.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Mount Cook ▷
Hooker Valley Track
Amazing views and landscape including the drive along the lake, seems to be not as crowded as Fox/Franz Josef Glacier.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Whale Watch Kaikoura
Well organised, good information but we hoped to see a group of whales at one or two spots rather than only one at a time so it felt a little like whale chasing rather watching.
Also, the helicopters above us were annoying.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Marahau Sea Kayaks / MSK
Well organised, good information, good price compared to other paid activities.
Beautiful landscape/nature, no need to do a guided tour.

North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Wendekreisen Travel
Booking was a bit complicated because we did not get the campervan we wanted, so it got more expensive but still cheaper than many other companies.
Picking up in Christchurch was okay, no one way fee for dropping off in Auckland, vehicle has got everything that is needed (self contained).
