Tramp through the Waipoua Forest, dive the East Coast shipwrecks, cycle the Bream Trail. Tour the wineries of Waiheke Island and Matakana. Immerse yourself in the Maori culture. Dunk in the hot springs and wander the caves of Waikato. Canoe the Whanganui River. Visit the seal colonies and nature reserves. Hike the glaciers and climb Mt. Cook. Take an eco-tour, with albatross encounters and dolphin swims in Kaikoura. Detailed information on where to stay in every area, from the best values in hotels to recommended campsites, plus everything you ll want to know about the restaurants and foods. The history, the sights and how to see them, all the museums, the art galleries and what you ll find there, the parks and gardens, the mountains and beaches. Shopping, theater, nightlife, entertainment, festivals, scenic drives, city attractions. As a Pocket Adventure Guide, this shows you how to experience the country more intensely and directly than most travelers know how to do seeing the place close-up, through walks, fishing, sailing, kayaking, diving, horseback excursions, culinary adventures, meeting the people. Other guides lack this level of detail, the adventure perspective and the emphasis on direct experience of the country. As a native New Zealander, Bette Flagler delivers an insider s knowledge that you won t find in other guides.
