Information

The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and many smaller ones -- along with Maori culture and the occasional touch of urban cosmopolitanism.

Comment by Honey Trek on October 13, 2012 at 12:03pm: Dear New Zealand PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,

My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in New Zealand, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.

Sincerely,
Mike & Anne

Comment by Koru Travel Ltd on November 10, 2011 at 8:24pm: Volunteering is a great way of making new friends, come close to birdlife and to keep fit, Have done volunteering in a number of occasions i.e. Project Jonah, volunteer planting days etc. Check out various volunteer websites, it's great. Up here in Auckland you can volunteer and see kiwis on the conservation projects on Motuihe and Tiri Tiri Matangi.

Comment by Ed Wetschler on November 10, 2011 at 1:54pm: Volunteering at Zealandia nature sanctuary today. Lots of oddball birds here; hope to see some baby kiwis. Have you done this sort of thing? http://bit.ly/vOjfi5

Comment by David Lawrence on November 9, 2011 at 12:28am: I played rugby Ed so it's funny to see these great ruggers in this video. Watched it three times and laughed.

Comment by Ed Wetschler on November 9, 2011 at 12:24am: Koru, I couldn't get your link to work, but I know the videos you mean, and you're right: They're a hoot. For example....

Comment by Koru Travel Ltd on November 8, 2011 at 7:41pm: the whole NZ excitement I reckon already starts on board Air New Zealand, check out their youtube footage of safety videos, unique and abolutely so Kiwi :-) " target="_blank"><iframe width="456" height="342" src="http:... (although Rugby World Cup is over now they will change it again, can't wait)

Comment by Ed Wetschler on November 8, 2011 at 6:55pm: "100% Pure:" one of the most exciting tourism videos I've ever seen. I actually went to youtube to see it again. Please fasten your seatbelts.

Comment by Tony Humphrey on November 7, 2011 at 12:21pm: These are fantastic courses... at a price... for the average golfer who wants to meet locals...rather than other tourists....I would highly recommend playing local town and village courses where you will meet the local members at very reasonable prices. Balclutha Golf Club comes to mind as one of the friendliest and welcoming group of little ball hitters anywhere.
