Links

We've put together a collection of links that we hope will be useful to you when planning your trip to New Zealand.

They include one of the best tourism websites you'll probably ever come across—Pure New Zealand.

We've also included some activity sites too. Hope they're helpful.

Pure New Zealand.
One of the very best websites we've seen, not only for New Zealand, but as a tourism website period.

Whale Watch Kiakoura.
You can't pass this town without a trip to see the Whales. Actually, you can't be on South Island and not do this!

Hobbiton Tours.
Tours around the Lord of the Rings movie set of Hobbiton, just outside the town of Matamata, North Island.

Shotover Jet.
THE jet boating experience. Inches from the canyon wall at mad speeds, 360 turn after 360 turn. A great experience (near Queenstown).

Air Safaris.
Based near Lake Tekapo, these guys will take you over the Mount Cook mountain range and the beautiful glacial lakes.

Queenstown Rafting.
Fantastic, if cold, fun. Don't miss this! Plus, the ride down Skippers Canyon the bus is almost as much of a rush.

Kaiteriteri Kayaks.
If you visit the Abel Tasman area, this is a great way to see the stunning coast and beautiful beaches, plus Split Apple Rock.

Maui Rentals.
We rented from these guys and they seem to have an up-to-date fleet and a wide choice of van options. There are many others to choose from.

Milford Sound Underwater Observatory.
A fascinating, floating underwater observatory. They have created small underwater gardens featuring Black Coral and Feather Stars to name a few.

Please note that we do not recommend any of these operators or websites above
any others, these just happen to be the ones we chose for our holiday.
