NZ TRAVEL TIPS
The Rotorua Region

Rotorua is one of the original tourist destinations in New Zealand, and has a long history of welcoming visitors From the moment people arrive in Rotorua they know they’re somewhere quite different. There is a scent of sulphur in the air and at nearby geothermal hotspots there are geysers spouting, mud pools bubbling and belching and warm geothermal springs and ponds that create a kaleidoscope of colour.

The Rotorua region is fast becoming known as nature’s spa of the South Pacific. Visitors can begin their journey by relaxing with a soak in the healing waters of the geothermal hot springs, indulge in a selection of therapeutic spa and health-massage therapies, or a rejuvenating dip in a natural mud bath Rotorua boasts a strong relationship between Maori and European cultures. With one third of New Zealand’s population Maori, Rotorua is a stronghold of Maori culture, arts and crafts

Rotorua has its own natural theme-park unlike any other around the world. From fun activities for the family, or enjoying the numerous water activities including fishing for world renowned rainbow trout in crystal clear rivers. Visitors will also find an abundance of natural walking reserves, or for the adrenaline junkie, there are plenty of adventure activities to choose from.

stewart island

...take the scenic route with apex car rentals. Sample extract from "New Zealand Driving Holidays" guidebook Stewart Island chapter.

stewart island

Stewart Island, or Rakiura (glowing skies) as it is known to the Maori, is one of NZ’s least explored eco-tourism destinations. Granite-based with high rocky outcrops it offers a mix of deep clear bays, white sandy beaches and towering emerald-green rainforest.

An ecological wonderland, three-quarters of the island is part of the Rakiura National Park. As the fourth largest park in NZ, it boasts some 157,000 hectares which teem with wildlife. The island is a paradise for trampers and nature lovers, offering many visitors the rare privilege of an unexpected rendezvous with a kiwi.

There are around 20,000 Stewart Island kiwi on the island. One of the larger species of this flightless bird, they are often seen foraging in the forest or hunting for sand hoppers on the beach. For those who do not come across one on their travels, kiwi-spotting night tours are available. Places are limited so it’s best to book in advance.

Stewart Island is also popular with birdwatchers because it has the largest and most diverse bird population in NZ, from the vividly feathered kaka and parakeet to the tui and bellbird with their melodic calls. Seabirds abound: there are several species of albatross and five types of penguin, including the tiny blue penguin and the rare yellow-eyed penguin – to name just a few! Ulva Island, a short boat ride from Stewart Island, is a pest-free open sanctuary where visitors can view and learn about many species that don’t thrive well on the mainland islands due to pests such as stoats, rats, and feral cats. The Stewart Island robin, South Island saddleback and the mohua (or yellowhead) are some of the rare birds likely to be encountered. The weka – often mistaken for kiwi – is prolific and these friendly birds usually provide a welcome committee. Day trips to Ulva Island can be organised at the Visitors’ Centre in Oban.

Stewart Island’s DOC Visitors’ Centre provides information on the island’s network of hiking trails. There’s a number of short hikes which range from 15 minutes to seven hours as well as several longer tramps which journey across the island through ancient podocarp forests of rimu, miro, southern kamahi and a dense carpet of ferns. The 36-kilometre Rakiura Track is extremely popular. It’s one of NZ’s Great Walks and can be covered in three days. It crosses the sheltered shores of Paterson Inlet and features historical sites and a mix of forest and open coast...
