Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferries
Some delays due to the earthquake damage.
Crossing was smooth and facilities good. Quite expensive - book in advance for cheaper fares.

Jucy Rentals
Good value for money - the Jucy Cabana feels more like a car than a van.
The process of booking and picking up is easy with a free shuttle from Auckland Airport. Would advise against bringing hard bags with the Cabana and anyone over 6 foot might find it cramped.

The Redwoods
We took the Yellow Trail.
A two hour walk which only gets steeper as you divert to the lookout over the thermal springs. You could wait there to see the big geyser blow its top.

Te Puia Geothermal Park
A huge number of geysers and thermal springs.
There also mud pools to see. It feels quite commercialised and on the expensive side.
