I had a great time with only limitation related to weather. High winds and visibility did not allow us to walk Tongariro crossing. Grant was an awesome guide and introduced us to rugby. Incidentally, I did lose my reading glasses in case they are found. (brown frames in blue case, probably w ear plugs, eye cover when I removed them from backpack in Rotorua lodge). I would highly recommend this to a friend!

Don't ignore the North Island would be my advice to anyone travelling to New Zealand for the first time. It has its own special attributes and charm and enables the cultural as well as the 'active' side of New Zealand to be explored. Despite getting soaked by the rain and blown around by the wind this proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable trip. It offers a diverse experience from culture and traditionally cooked food to walking through native forests, driving through rollling green hills created from past volcanic activity, a first hand appreciation of geothermal activity, the adrenaline rush of forest biking and a trip to the Waitomo caves. Another suggestion would be don't pass up on any of the activities as they are what makes this trip exciting and allow friendships to be made through shared experiences: I don't think I've screamed and laughed so much simultaneously as when forest biking - awesome! The only negative point for me about this trip was that it was over too soon! Kauri is short and sweet but somehow we managed to see and do an awful lot, gaining a feel of the main aspects of North Island in just 5 days, so it probably should remain this way.
