Lake Waikareiti Walk
Walk through beautiful forest and if you organise with the nearby visitor centre beforehand, you can hire a row boat for half a day on the lake.
Beautiful scenery and good value for money. Affordable for everyone.

Classic Sheepskins
Not a 'must do' but if you have 20 mins spare in Napier then this is an interesting thing to do.
You get a tour throgh the whole process - from raw sheepskin to the end product - the wool.

Great location at the base of Mt Maunganui.

Waitomo Adventures Ltd
Lost World 100m abseil - great experience, good way of exploring the cave as you abseil first, then climb through the cave and then climb a 30m ladder.
Other tours available too, not affordable for everyone but you get what you pay for - it's worth it!

Interislander Ferry
Much nicer than a flight as it isn't just a normal ferry crossing, it's more a scenic cruise as you go through the marlborough sounds - beautiful.

Maitai Bay Campsite
very nice spot right above a twin bay.
Nice scenery and beautiful sunset. DOC campgrounds in general are a good way to stay overnight. In the middle of nature and many have beatiful scenery.
