  • New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017
    New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017 How did we select a New Zealand Top 5 Things to Do in 2017? There is so much to see and do in this amazing country, that it's almost impossible to pick a New Zealand Top 5. We said almost! So we've looked at what's "hot" and "what's not", listened to our visitor's reviews, and based on their recommendations (and our own personal experiences), we've arrived at the: New Zealand Top 5 things to do in 2017 1. Enjoy a traditional Maori hangi and exciting cultural performance, at Tamaki Maori Village, Rotorua. 2. Walk on the glacier on the Franz Josef Glacier small group ice walk. 3. Visit the Lord of the Rings Hobbiton movie set. 4. See the "Eighth Wonder of the World", Milford Sound, on a day tour and cruise from Queenstown. 5. Experience pristine wilderness on the Doubtful Sound wilderness cruise from Te Anau. 1) Maori hangi dinner and cultural performance The Maori people were the first to settle in Aotearoa (the Land of the Long White Cloud), and their story is a fascinating one. This amazing tour takes you just out of Rotorua to Tamaki Maori Village, a recreation of an ancient Maori settlement, set deep in native forest. This tour gives you a feel for what it was like for the indigenous owners of the land, and through a combination of song and dance, architecture, story, and food, you gain an appreciation for Maori society. The powhiri (ceremony of welcome) ushers you into the village, from where you can immerse yourself in the way of life experienced many years ago.

  • Lacy's Wish to Go to New Zealand
    I wish to go to New Zealand Lacy Taneytown, MD cystic fibrosis Lacy’s Wish To Go To New Zealand Lacy from Taneytown, MD has always been interested in fantastical stories and movies, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Lacy is diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, and she finds joy and relief in watching The Lord of the Rings movies. When she learned that Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic would be granting her one true wish, Lacy immediately knew what to wish for. Lacy wished to go to New Zealand, where the epic journeys of Tolkien’s characters were filmed. Lacy began her exciting journey with a luxurious limo ride to the airport. Upon landing in New Zealand, Lacy and her family explored some of the adventurous activities that the country has to offer. One of Lacy’s favorites was a thrilling zip line ride through the rolling hills and lush foliage of Waiheke Island. Lacy also loved exploring the famed ports of Auckland and the local shops and restaurants surrounding them, where she tried some of the country’s signature dishes. Her personal favorites were the fish and chips and the steak and king crab leg platters. Lacy was thrilled to visit the Auckland Art Gallery and stopped in an amazing bookstore, where she browsed countless books. Of course, her favorite part of the entire trip was visiting the Hobbiton Movie Set – the location where many important scenes from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were filmed. The movie set was much larger than Lacy thought it would be, and it was completely awe-inspiring.
