South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Golden Bay ▷
Wharariki Beach Walk
Most fabulous beach in the entire country in my opinion, especially area round the stone bridge.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Banks Peninsula ▷
Little River Railtrail
I'm no cyclist but walked the short section between Little River and Caton's Bay.
on a hot day, taking care to defer to cyclists, who seemed pleasantly suprised by my courtesy. It is a delightful walk full of wild flowers, shady trees including English Oak and a bird watching heaven. I wish I'd had more time, but it was my last hours in NZ. A lovely area that I'd like to revisit and explore more.

North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Bridge to Nowhere Tours
Excellent value trip by Father + Son team: friendly, knowledgeable, mind blowing scenery (think film ''Deliverance") exciting walk section - started as 4 hour trip but we had 6 hours total
. Everyone should do this - kayaking back also option.
-
South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Whale Watch Kaikoura
Overpriced - even though we did get to see the whale at the 11th hour + 55th minute.
Vessel (although purpose built) not well designed or a good ride. Had better experiences in a fishing boat at Iona in Scotland!
-
North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Discover NZ Motorhome Rentals
when we had a problem without us changing our route!
Friendly, personal service - collected us from airport and exchanged vans
well equipped, well maintained, clean and comfortable.
-
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Abel Tasman Coast Track
Some lovely views, as exciting (or terrifying) swing bridge high over a river.
Enough forest cover to keep you cool on a hot day and a water taxi to take you home. What more could you want?

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Alpine Pacific Holiday Park
Quiet site, good facilities, good value and close to town centre.
VERY CLEAN.
Hi Helen, Thanks for your feedback. Really pleased you enjoyed staying with us. Hope we can welcome you back again soon. Regards Lee and Struan.

South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Pelorus ▷
Pelorus River Access / Totara Walk
Did 2 short walks here and it was just the prettiest part of New Zealand in my opinion.
(Helen) safe swimming spot - although we didn't try. Water so clear could watch little shag diving clearly.
-
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Silica Rapids
Lovely 2.5 hour walk.
More scenic than the waterfall walks that we also did. We did it in the rain + it was still good. When the bugs stopped singing we knew we were in for another heavy shower.

North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Thames ▷
Gold Mine Experience
We hit a quiet period so were able to make the most of our guide.
Very knowledgeable - we asked lots of questions and he could answer them all. When we switched the machinery on it was so loud even with ear defenders, one wondered how people in the past could manage the work.
