New+Zealand+Activities

If you have completed an activity it would be great if you explained how you went about it. For example the name of the company you used, how you got there & would you do it again. Examples could be bungi jumping, scuba, horse riding etc. hi,hi=) huhuuu... during my stay here in new zealand i would like to dive, to surf and to do other sports which are typical for new zealand.<3 During my second term here I got my diving certificate from scuba diving agency from Kamo. Me and Corinna Holst went through the diving course together. We studied diving manual and went for couple of classroom lessons and after that we had one swimming pool lesson with real scuba diving gear! When we could move in the pool without greater problems we made our first open water diving trip to Tutukaka coast. It was really exciting and I tried very persistingly speak finnish to my diving instructor... From Tutukaka I catched a crayfish and my family ate it for dinner. Our second diving trip was to Poor Knights and this time we were little bit more professionals :) It was awesome experience though it cost 550 dollars. Now me and and Corinna have our certificates and we can go diving anywhere in the world! Enni Suomio

Which beach here around whagarei is the greatest?

I've been at Ocean Beach and it was amazing. it is a 5 km long sand-beach Jan

last april i went with NZET to the south island.. it was the middle of the autumn so the landscape was beautiful.. the highlight of my tour was definitly QUEENSTOWN and specially the bungy!!.. theres 3 different options to do it with the same company i did.. AJ hackett, it was around 220 dollars, tha highest one "the nevis". 134mts, 8 seconds of free fall!!.. it was an awesome experience!!.. i recommend it to everyone, and if you dont have the opportunity to go down south just in auckland with the same company you can do it!.. or with many others down in taupo or rotorua!! juana

In my holidays i went down to Queenstown and it was fabulous. i stayed there a week and i enjoyed every single moment. I went skiing in the remarkables, and i went on a shotover jetboat which was so cool( cause of the suicide commiting driver). I also played frisbe golf which is pretty cool, but it was kind of hard cause you always see your frisbe going in the wrong direction and you realise that you ll have all of that way, too. I also went up with the skyline gondula and did the luge. This was one of the funniest things i ve ever done, it s like go cart and you use the gravity to get speed. in addition i visited the kiwi house and so living kiwi birds for the first time. i really loved the time i ve spent there and im keen on going back as soon as possible.

Iwent with NZET to the south island last September to october. I did 3 different BUNGY too. It was so scary bt it was just so awesome!! I want to do it again!! and i want to do another one in Auckland or taupo, rotorua one!! Yoshiko

I also went with NZET to the south island from the 30th September to the 10th October. We went to many places there - Christchurch, Motueka, Kaikoura, Queenstown, Greymouth and Mt Cook and we did heaps of activities - swimming with the dolphins, Shotover Jetboat, Gondola & Ludge Cayaking etc. We spent the nights always in very nice and comfortable accomodations and most of them had swimming pools, spas and other cool stuff. The highlight of my trip was definitly the swimming with the dolphins in Kaikoura (: It was awesome !!! But I also enjoyed Queenstown a lot. We spent there two nights and had a lot of freetime so that we went shopping, to the Ludge what was so great fun, went to a nice Italian restaurant and some of us did the Bungy Jumping also but I was too afraid. At least we did the most unforgetable experience but not that good one at Mt Cook where we spent one night in an accomodation which was located somewhere in nowhere. There was really nothing around us except of a lake and the mountains but there were no village, no houses, no shops around us and that was like a little suprise for us. However, we could enjoy also this night together. At all I met so many people from different countries and made friendships with so many guys and I will keep this always in my mind. It was almost the best holidays I ever had and I would suggest this trip to everyone ! Karin
