Travel Review: New Zealand Honeymoon, Routeburn Track & Tongariro Crossing Hikes, Local Culture & Cuisine, Wildlife

One of our favorite tours was the Coast and Rainforest walk.  We had wanted to really learn about the country's ecology and landscape and this was perfect. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable, pleasant, and invested in the area's natural resources. It was a great way to start our exploration of New Zealand; we will remember what we learned and really appreciate the lessons.  

Our Tongariro Crossing guided hike  was very memorable. We actually didn't even finish the hike due to bad weather, but we enjoyed learning about the area from our local guide. We will remember our guide most. The bad weather was an experience in itself and now we have a story to tell.
