Whakarewarewa The Living Maori Village
Nice visit of a traditional Maori village with interesting representations by Maori artists.
The geysers and hot springs were also quite incredible to observe, but the price was way too high for what it is.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Fantastic track across Mt Tongariro, wonderful views of the valley and the other mountains/volcanoes (including the one that inspired Mt Doom!).
The arrival on top of it with the emerald lake was incredible, even more with the snow that was sill here in November!

Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry
We took the boat at 2:30am and were able to stay in the company's carpark before the boarding.
The boat was well equipped, comfortable and not too crowded, which was great to sleep a little before the arrival.
