Fiordland - Where BEER first came to NZ!

Legendary Fiordland has played an important part in the development of New Zealand's history. It's deep sheltered Fiords providing refuge from the fury of the roaring forties, an abundance of seals, fish and seabirds provided easily obtainable sustenance, more importantly though, it's also where beer first came to New Zealand, after 11,000 miles and 117 days floating around the globe. Tuck in!

Nelson - Its Truly Beautiful

The Queen Charlotte Scenic drive, between Picton and Havelock, is perhaps one of the most awesome tracks of coastal road in New Zealand. It's a narrow winding road but provides some spectacular views across the gleaming bush clad bays of Queen Charlotte, and Pelorus Sounds...

The Volcanic Belt - Get into it!

As fissures open up in an eruption, such as with Tarawera, water makes contact with the superheated magma creating hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of steam. The pressure builds and builds until finally it explodes with devastating power.

The East Cape of the North Island

The East Cape of the North Island is one of the most rugged and rustic parts of New Zealand. The winding roads are dotted with stone beaches and rocky coves intermingled with a cast of sandy bays. Life on the cape runs at a very different pace and it's easy to see why.

Kaikoura Whale Watching

The sperm whale, named after the oils it contains in it's head, is the largest toothed mammal on the planet weighing up to 70 tons and spanning nearly 60 feet. The sperm whales located around Kaikoura are generally adolescent males.

The Kaikoura Coast

If you haven't tried crayfish (New Zealand rock lobster) yet, you won't find a better place, there are roadside 'cray' shops that dot the highway, even if you aren't in to seafood, they provide some pretty cool kodak moments.
