Our Latest Outdoor Adventures
Hooker Valley Track
This 10 km family-friendly track is the most popular walk in the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and offers amazing views of New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki/Mount Cook.
Climbing Mount Fox
The Mount Fox Track may be short at just 7.2km return but don't let that fool you. This is a steep, muddy and fairly brutal climb but the views are worth it.
Climbing Roys Peak
For panoramic views of Lake Wanaka and the snow-covered peaks of Mount Aspiring National Park, the climb to the summit of Roys Peak is a tough but very rewarding walk.
Coromandel Walkway
The Coromandel Coastal Walkway and Cycle Path is a 10km easy grade route that offers stunning views of the peninsula’s rocky cliffs and azure blue bays – a definite must do.
Exploring Waipu Cave
It’s wet, it’s muddy and there are no guided tours, but if you’re up for adventure and keen to see a glowworm galaxy, Waipu Cave is just the place for you.
Diving Great Barrier Island
Situated on the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, Great Barrier Island is a mecca for divers, offering dive sites suitable for all skill levels.
We’re Martin & Debs and this is our New Zealand adventure travel guide. We live in Auckland and while for the most part we lead fairly regular 9 to 5 lives, we’re forever dreaming and planning our next trip as we explore this amazing country we now call home.
Whether it’s walking and hiking, scuba diving, mountain biking, paddling along New Zealand’s seemingly endless coastline or white water sledging through narrow gorges, our mission is to experience the best outdoor and adventure activities that New Zealand has to offer. We have a to-do list (a long one!), and over the coming months or however long it takes, we aim to complete it.
So whether you’re a kiwi local or an overseas adventure traveller planning the ultimate New Zealand holiday, or simply dreaming of your next backpacking gap adventures, we hope you find some inspiration for your own travels in the words and photos we share on our journey through Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud.
