amusement parks thrill rides rollercoasters fun places to vist in new zealand

Wellington is far more laid back than Auckland, and tourists after an adrenalin rush have to visit places like the Queen Elizabeth Tram Park, or the Beehive, or the National Library, or the Film Archive, or the Tree Top Walk, or Hawkins Hill to get their fix. (TICL)

Seriously, there is a deficit of great new zealand attractions in Wellington when comparing it with Auckland, but there is enough to keep an interesting person interested.

Cruise to Australia/New Zealand . What New Zealand Attractions to See?

Posted under New Zealand Attractions

I am planning a cruise to Australia for early next year, like February or March, most likely on a Celebrity or Royal Caribbean ship and I need to know what cities and attractions in Australia I should definitely include in the visit other than Sydney and what do the other cities that I should see have in the way of attractions?

Also, most of the cruises that I see have more stops in New Zealand than in Australia. Why and what is there to see in New Zealand that results in more stops there than in Australia.? I don't need any answers or help with the cruise part; have a been on many and know my way around. But I do need help on the tours and attractions part. And I am not interested in you referring me to a web site as I can do that too. I want personal knowledge.

Hi there! i live in auckland new zealand and our country is renowned for its beautiful landscapes. if you come to auckland you will prob come to the war memorial museum ( where i work!) but my recommendation is to go to some of our black sand beaches on the west coast( piha,karekare, waitakere ranges etc)you can see caves and gloworms rivalling anywhere in the world.

If you go to the south island ( which you should!!!!) on the west coast are amazing black lakes, mountains for skiing ( cadrona near queenstown, queenstown is beautiful! the whole of otago is!) scenery is a big deal here so milford sound and nelson both in the s.island are heritage sites.rotorua is popular for its thermal hot water springs and maori culture centre.personally i love punakaiki( the pancake rocks)just after greymouth for its wild beauty and lush tree fern forests.

nz is more about getting outdoors as we are not a big city country! on the east coast of the north island it is very dry and arid and if you are a wine drinker this is the place to go! marlborough etc. If you only come to auckland take a ferry and go to waiheke or great barrier.. two close islands which have alot of native nz animals etc.waiheke has vineyards as well..i think the reason nz has more stops is that there is a lot of scenery which is essential viewing and you can see deserts, beaches, rainforests, ice mountains glaciers all in one trip to nz!you will love it! go to mt. cook if you get a chance and franz joseph glacier its cool that you can walk up a glacier in nz!if you need any more info send me a message!hope you enjoy it!:) by the way kia ora(ki ora) is hello in nz!
