As well as trying your hand at adventure sports there are also numerous other highlights to try and pack in - including the famous geysers and mud-pools at Rotorua, the Bay of Islands, Lake Taupo, Milford Sound and the Franz Josef Glacier!
Tip... get around with the ‘Kiwi Experience’ bus pass. The ‘Kiwi Experience’ is a flexible ‘hop on hop off’ bus service exclusively for backpacking travellers - travelling in New Zealand is easy!
