Some friends and I went to New Zealand for our spring break when we were abroad in Australia. Overall, New Zealand is a more lush and green environment, perfect for adventure junkies like myself.
The tour that we joined was called So That’s What a Sheep is For from a company called Extreme Adventures. We drove a lot: from Christchurch to Fox Glacier, to Lake Wanaka, to Queenstown. We spent most of our time (3 - 4 days) in Queenstown.
To Do:
Visit Te Anau and the glow worm caves
Take a cruise down the Milford Sound
Ride the Shotover Jet boat
Do the Shotover Canyon Swing
Ride the Skyline Gondola up where you can bungee jump and luge
Take a helicopter ride and go white water rafting with Queenstown Rafting
Restaurants:
Fergburger (a nighttime staple)
Icy & Lola’s
Bars:
Below Zero Ice Bar
Buffalo
Accommodations:
Reavers Lodge (and be prepared to take taxis up the hill to the lodge)
