New Zealand Tour & Travel Guide - Things to do in New Zealand

Hobbiton Movie Set and Farm Tours

All LOTR devotees would love to take the Hobbiton Movie Set and Farm Tours. But that doesn’t mean it’s not for those who haven’t seen the movies. While copyright issues ensured that all the intricately constructed movie sets had to be destroyed, Hobbiton’s owners managed to negotiate to keep the hobbit holes, although without their wonderful exteriors.

Spas

You might want to redefine the meaning of the term spa after a trip to NZ’s relaxing springs. The Polynesian Spa in the Government Gardens has mineral bathing (36°C to 42°C) in several spectacular pools at the lake’s edge, marble-lined terraced pools and a larger, main pool. You can also make use of other commercial activities in the area, which include massages, mud and beauty treatments, a cafe and a gift shop. Another place that deserves your time is the sulphur-rich air of Rotorua, which gives a taste of New Zealand’s most dynamic thermal area with spurting geysers, steaming hot springs and exploding mud pools. The Maori revered this place, naming one of the most spectacular springs Wai-O-Tapu (Sacred Waters). Currently, 35% of the population here is Maori, and their cultural performances and traditional hangi are a huge tourist attraction.

Rotorua Maori Hangi Dinner and Performance

Relish your Rotorua tour with a Maori hangi feast. Take a coach to Tamaki Maori Village where your guide escorts you on a cultural journey to the marae (Maori village).  Your journey unfolds when your coach travels to a pre-European village set deep within the forest, 15 minutes from Rotorua. Soak in the local customs and enjoy this travel back in time.

Gondola

Take a stunning gondola ride from the Heathcote Valley terminal to the cafe-restaurant complex on Mt Cavendish. Fantastic views greet you over Lyttelton Harbour and towards the Southern Alps. Check out on the deals for adults, kids and family combinations.

Cable Car

Zoom across in one of Wellington’s most famous attractions - the red cable car that makes its way from Lambton Quay to Kelburn. At the top of the slope you will find a cafe, the Wellington Botanic Gardens, an observatory and the small-but-nifty Cable Car Museum. You can take the cable car back down the hill, or walk down through the Botanic Gardens. The hilly 25-hectare gardens boast of a tract of original native forest along with varied plant collections, fountains, playground, sculptures, duck pond and magnificent city views.

Waterways Boating Safaris

Get some action in the water in this a boat tour with a difference. Buzz around the Keneperu Sound in your own craft, while learning about the area’s ecology and history. Each boat can carry two people and each guide can take a maximum of five boats.
