Travel Plans - New Zealand Update

Hey Guys!

So January has flown by so fast and we have been extremely busy planning our trip to New Zealand. I shared our travel plans with you recently so you can read that post here.

We have now finalised our plans for our visit to this amazing country but we want to remain flexible if we want to change our mind when we are out there. There are just so many things we want to do so we are trying to squeeze in as much as possible. I know this seems like a hectic schedule but then I am not the sort of person to travel halfway round the world just to sit still. New Zealand has so much to see and do and we plan to tick a lot off our wish list. 

This is our current plan for our two week visit:

Day 1  - Auckland - Waiheke Island Day / Harbour Evening

Day 2 - Bay of Islands - Drive to Paihia / Snorkel at Goat Island / Dive at Tutukaka / Lunch at Whangarei / Sunset at Cape Reinga 

Day 3 - Bay of Islands - Sand-boarding / Boat cruise / Ninety Mile Beach

Day 4 - Drive to Coromandel - Cathedral Cove

Day 5 - Coromandel - Paddle-boarding / BBQ

Day 6 - Drive to Matamata - Hobbiton Tour / Drive to Waitomo - Waitomo Caves / Drive to Lake Taupo
