    I like the intro to this video, the sound and the montage just takes me back to NZ. I miss NZ. I did the campervan and drove for about 4000 km around the South Island. I miss snowboarding at Treble Cone. Whale Watching, Seals, Penguins, Castle Hill, Otira Viaduct. Driving up from Queenstown to Hokitika alone the West highway was a great experience. And Hokitika, what a welcoming cute little town with that black sand where you can scout for jades. Love this video. I miss NZ so much

    Auckland and Wellington are great places to visit for those who like big cities. Dunedin is yet another less talked of cities, having lots of old buildings, a unique character of its own, captivating charm and an enormous amount of wildlife out on the peninsula. Then, there is the Marlborough Sound, Bay of Islands, Golden Bay, Coromandel, Wanaka, Queenstown …

    A month is nowhere near enough time to cover the amazing sights of NZ! We've spent about 3-4 months there now across three trips and still haven't seen all the sights we really wanted. So crazy for a country that is so small! Milford Sound is so beautiful, I agree, but it's nothing compared to its southern sibling, Doubtful Sound. Doubtful is much harder to get to, but so worthwhile, such an amazing part of the country. I'm intrigued by the canyoning in Queenstown, it's not something we have come across in our trips but looks like a lot of fun. So jealous about Franz Josef. Every time we've been, it's been inaccessible!!! Hopefully next time we'll finally be able to do it! Also, I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but the Shotover Jet is in Quenstown not Taupo. The Taupo one is the Huka Falls Jet, both are awesome :)
