Top Holiday Activity Adventures to Check in new Zealand
There are hundreds of Tour operators in New Zealand offering one or another or multiple New Zealand adventure travel packages. And it can be difficult to make a choice But don't fret - help is at hand. Most cities and towns have one or more tourist Information sites which can help and assist in finding what kind of adventure is available in The place you are visiting or nearby.
New Zealand is 100% surrounded by water and both islands offer a vast and wonderful range of water activities - be it in the sea or On the river or on the lakes and includes diving, kayaking, fishing, swimming with dolphins, whale watching, scenic cruises, sailing, river rafting and many chartered boat tours.
Here are a couple of handful of Travel adventures Tips in the South Island of New Zealand - some activities and adventures are not for the faint hearted visitor - so be aware of the following:
River Rafting - Greymouth Called either white water or black water raftingYou float through an underground galaxy world of glow worms and you can add some more adventure and adrenaline with an optional cliff jump or an abseil down to the top of the river tubing section followed by a relaxing hot shower
Skydive in Lake Wanaka
If you're afraid of falling then jumping out of a plane this is probably not your idea of a fun time. But take comfort in the fact that you'll be strapped to a professional who is doing all the work for you (and pushes you out of the plane - hiding under a seat wont' help) You will never forget the awesome views - so go for it - it will change your life forever
Bungee jump in Queenstown
If you're scared of heights, there is no better way to sort that out than getting tied to a rubber cord and jumping off a really high bridge over a raging river. Bungee was invented in New Zealand (where else) and you can take a dive from the original site near Queenstown.
Swimming with dolphins in Kaikoura - South Island
We hope you haven't seen the movie Jaws when you were little because you might not want to swim in the ocean but swimming with dusky dolphins might change your perspective againOrganised Boat tours from Kaikoura take you into the open ocean where you can jump in with a pod and watch them up close in their own environment. And if you are still reluctant you might get lucky - all tours are weather dependent
Glacier-walking at Fox Glacier
A guided hike on Fox Glacier is literally a cool and cold experience Spilling down from the Southern Alps Fox Glacier almost makes it all the way to the sea. Ice crevasses and odd-looking formations - a walk on the glacial tongue is money well spentIf you want you can take a Helicopter flight - they can take you up even further and are even able to land on the glacier.
New Zealand is a fantastic place to visit and the "can't wait to get there attitude" of travellers from all over the world and especially Australia - makes the planning of your adventure travel an exciting one!
Conclusion.......... come on World travellers - we may live in tough economic times - but New Zealand's adventures are waiting for you to be discovered!

Years ago, when i was a Georgia teen, we caught a live racoon and put it in a suitcase. We then drove to the wrong side of town, parked next to a bridge, put the suitcase On the hood, and hid behind some bushes to watch.
Soon this car drove past real slow, then backed up and a black jumped out grabbed the suitcase and peeled out. Before they got across the bridge the car skidded to a stop and all four doors popped open. Every body piled out!
Just remember, I did an even better one to my sister. I climbed a tree and waited for this deer to walk under the branch. Jumped down on it and caught it. Put it in the cab of my pickup and drove it to my sisters house. She was not due home until midnight so I put the live deer in her bedroom and unscrewed the light bulb. That way when she came home all tired, tried to turn the light on would only think it burnt out, then this large fury beast rushed the door to get out. And she freaked!
Oh, there was that time when my grandpa raised bees. Every Christmas he always sent a jar of homemade honey to all the relatives. That year I helped him collect pine sap for the jars. Then a thin coat of honey on Top for the smell... imagine, them putting sap on their toast and taking a bite out of it. All the sap stuck to the tongue.
