20 best things to see & do on New Zealand’s north and south islands

You can see and do so much in New Zealand in little more than a week. I’ll show you the 10 things I did on the South Island and the 10 things I did on the North Island in just 8 days by flying between four cities: Queenstown, Christchurch, Rotorua and Auckland.

My adventures include: A thrilling sail through Auckland Harbor on an America’s Cup yacht, a breathtaking flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound, a blockbuster tour through the fantastical Hobbiton on the North Island, an epic TranzAlpine rail journey across the South Island, the spectacular high rise vistas of Auckland’s Sky Tower and the magnificent sunset views of Skyline Queenstown.

Plus, I’ll take you to Fergburger, Arrowtown, the Kawarau Bungee Bridge, the Christchurch Antarctic Center and Tram tour, Huka Falls, the Redwoods Treewalk, Zorb Rotorua, Kuira Park, Mount Maunganui, Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium and the Aukland’s Explorer bus tour. I’ll also show the four places I stayed and how I was able to quickly moved about on these two remarkably different islands, maximizing my limited time here to experience 20 amazingly diverse adventures in little more than a week.
