  1. Abel Tasman – Cruising, chilling and kayaking in paradise!

    by Ste

    On Tuesday, we reluctantly said our goodbyes to Kaikoura and its abundance of seals and headed on to our next stop in the beautiful Abel Tasman area. We were originally going to stop in Nelson for a night on the way, but we decided our time would be much better spent in and around the […]

  2. Kaikoura… Seals, seals and more seals!

    by Ste

    Stop number 11, our first in the South Island, was Kaikoura, a lovely little town on the north east coast. We worked this into our route plan when we learned of the countless wild seals that can be found in the area and it’s fair to say Kaikoura delivered on this front beyond all expectation! […]

    by Hannah

    I did it! I’ve always wanted to do a skydive and I finally plucked up the courage to do it in Lake Taupo, New Zealand! Now don’t get me wrong, I was sooo scared and could have quite easily backed out when we arrived but the staff at Taupo Tandem Skydive were so friendly and […]

  6. Taupo – an Adventure Playground Sitting Pretty Next to the Great Lake

    by Ste

    This is the last of our three nights in Taupō and it has surpassed all expectations! To be honest, we didn’t have many; we just thought it would be similar to Rotorua due to its proximity. It is similar in terms of being a real adventure hotspot with no shortage of trips and activities on […]
