NZ North Island Suggestions?
I'm going to NZ in December, with a long pre-paid itinerary on the
South Island, including the Milford Track. I've looked on the web and in past posts to this newsgroups, but have not really found a (recent) answer to my question, which is: I'm arriving in Auckland at 6 AM on Sunday, Dec. 16, and have to arrive in Christchurch by fairly early Dec. 18, and am pretty much constrained to flying out of Auckland due to my main ticket, but times are changeable. I could do the flight late on the 17th or early the 18th. What should I do on the North Island? Rotorua looks like a standard tourist place to visit, but is it the best place to go, not driving? I'm looking for, if possibly, outdoorsy sort of things. Do remember that on Sunday I'll be getting off a long flight from the US and may not be in shape for a long hike, though this is not certain. Or should I forget the North Island entirely and go directly to Christchurch? Doug McDonald |

NZ North Island Suggestions?

Outdoorsy - what are you looking for: fishing, boating, hiking etc? hiking, nature gawking (e.g. geysers), short kayak trip or a river raft, etc. Have a look through: www.purenz.com www.aaguide.co.nz Perhaps a quick trip up to the Bay of Islands? Also check the change fee on your ticket if you want to stay in AKL for the day or so. That's no problem ... I've budgeted for paying it. Doug McDonald |
