New Zealand MUST SEE- N. Island, S. Island or both?
I’m secretly celebrating my 40th birthday -alone- by choice. I want this trip to be crazy, sexy, cool, like me! I only have 2 weeks vacation: I plan to go to Melbourne, Sydney and then New Zealand.
Since I have about 4 days (ish) in New Zealand I was thinking of a bike tour of some sort but I don’t want to miss any MUST SEE stuff. I know I will party in Australia so maybe New Zealand could be of a different adventure… kangaroos?
Honestly what is a must see in New Zealand? Can you help me decide where to go on my short stay in New Zealand? I’m a fun loving, single woman who is from NYC. I’m smart and friendly, no nonsense… Keep in mind it’s my 40th… talk to me!
Going in February..
NZ is fantastic wherever you visit. I’m Australian, but have visited many times (it is just over the ditch, after all). It entirely depends on what you’re interested in, however. Queenstown (on the south island) is beautiful and well known for the adventure tours. It’s close to Milford Sound, which I recommend as a ‘must do’ on the south island: it’s absolutely spectacular. You can get bus tours from Q’town which include a boat trip in the sound. If you’re going in winter and enjoy the snow, q’town is excellent for that, too. Christchurch, also on the south island, is a lovely town. Way down south is dunedin, which is almost dead when university is on break, but is still great fun – if you can get there when the rugby is on, get tickets 
North island: Auckland cops a lot of flak from the locals, but is actually a great city. The bay of islands, way up north, is great for beachy type activities, or just for lounging around. It’s also basically where europeans signed an important treaty with the indigenous population (the treaty of waitangi), which has great signifcance.
Wellington has a great museum: it’s worth driving up to the lookout over wellington for the view at night. It’s windy, though
Napier is a small but beautiful town: it was flattened by an earthquake in the thirties, so the whole place was rebuilt at once in the art deco style. If you’re into art deco, it’s unmissable. Rotorua is a very interesting place, with mud pools, hot springs and geysers. It;s the most popular tourist destination in nz. It’s also a base to go on some tours of ‘maori villages’ which, though very, very touristy, are still quite interesting and worthwhile.
Just a few things to mull over…
And happy birthday
