It is the great outdoors for which New Zealand is loved and famed – there are boundless opportunities for you to get out, be active and enjoy it. Half day, full day, multi day, guided or “freedom” it is all available to you. So often experiences are the sweeter for your own effort! We have a heap of suggestions to get you out of your car – long or short walks, places where you can kayak or hire a bike – so Take on a Great Walk, kayak the Abel Tasman, bike the Central Otago Rail Trail, pedal around the vineyards, kayak around the Okarito Lagoon, stroll around Lake Matheson, hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. In many cases you don’t even need to have done it before and the Department of Conservation tracks are well graded so there is something to suit all levels.
