A very boring trip - things we DIDN'T do

Now in Perth and it may seem like we have been busy little bees over the past couple of months in New Zealand - but here is a list of things we never got around to doing - could be because of cost, place or because we are wimps! Maybe next time!

LAND
  • Dozens of 3-10 day tramps (except the Queen Charlotte Track - 4 days just carrying daysacks - a softies option)

  • LOTR tours (Clue - think of a film with lots of NZ scenes)

  • Day hikes - thousands

  • Via Ferrata, Climbing (indoor and out)

  • Horse-riding

  • Biking, Off road driving, 4WD tours, monster truck driving

  • Hunting

  • Thermal areas - mud pools, geysers, etc

  • Zorbing (don't ask!)

  • Watching - sailing, rugby, cricket, horse racing, other sport
SEAS/RIVERS


  • Jet boating, Rafting, whitewater sledging

  • Surfing, canyoning, scuba diving, snorkelling

  • Canoes, Kayaking, sailing

  • Loads more cruises - but did get to do a fair few and lots of water taxis

  • Fishing
AIR


  • Bungy jumping, swinging

  • Paragliding, hang gliding, gliding, parasailing, sky diving

  • Scenic flights, ballooning

SNOW

  • Glaciers - helihikes, walks, ice climbing

EATING and DRINKING
  • Still several thousand cafes to try

MUSEUMS etc

  • At least one in every town/village

  • Loads of coal/gold/other mining towns
