Just completed the first half of our New Zealand adventure on the North Island. An amazing assortment of unforgettable places and experiences (photos not in order). Highlights include:
- The beautiful, cosmopolitan Auckland and its sky tower observatory
- Taking the ferry over to Waiheke Island to visit great wineries and wonderful views. (Great beaches too if weather permits)
- Head over to Waitomo caves for numerous different ways to explore the glow worm caves! We particularly loved the more adventurous Legendary Black Water Rafting company tour through the caves. So fun to both jump into the caves from a waterfall and to float in the dark while viewing the otherworldly glow worms.
- Speaking of otherworldly - a visit to Rotorua and its nearby Wai-o-Tapu geothermal waterpark will blow your mind! So many different beautiful colors and minerals coming out of the steaming waters. A true can’t miss!
- Rotorua is also the capital of Maori culture and we enjoyed a fabulous dinner (Hangi!) and show learning about the Maoris.
