New Zealand Things To Do

Overall review of our second full day tour with Greyline Tours. We were picked up from the centre of Auckland; this tour was also one of those multi-stop tours. We had three destinations we were going to visit today on the north island of New Zealand.

Besos Latinos translates to many kisses. Este lugar es increíble (or, this place is incredible)!! Somewhere you could walk past every day for your whole life and not know it was there.  Tucked away deep within Elliot Stables is this fantastic Caribbean, South American, Mexican restaurant.

I have been to many Zoos in my time. So coming to Auckland Zoo in New Zealand was something I was looking forward to.

Brett picked us up from our accommodation, and we headed off on our west coast tour of Auckland’s North Island. We were the only ones on the tour but that was no problem for him, he is more than happy to mix things up and tailor the tours an individual need, wants and desires. Below are the places we went and the experiences we had there.

Who does not love a good game of mini golf? We had seen the Mini Gold NZ place a few times while driving through Rotorua.

The weather wasn't exactly the best it could've been, but we braved the cold wind and the spotty rain for a chance to see the animals at Paradise Valley Springs. As we arrived, we entered the park and picked up some food for the animals, we turned left and followed the path along.

We didn't know what to expect from the skyline experience; we have been on a gondola ride before on the hills in southern Spain, and it was an excellent chance to take some great photos.

You cannot visit New Zealand and not take in some of the cultures of the Maori people. So the opportunity came to visit the Tamaki Maori Village down in Rotorua.
