It covers much of the southern part of the South Island’s West Coast. The Sounds in Fiordland are arguably the most beautiful places in New Zealand, and that’s saying some- thing! Wildlife, waterfalls, unforested valleys, crystal clear lakes, and elegant mountains are what make up the views, and the only signs of human inhabitance are the tracks running deep into the bush, and the cruises down the sounds. * Fiordland National Park * Milford Sound - Milford is truly breathtaking. So much that it often attracts the title of “The Eighth Natural Wonder of the World”. Fiordland is one of the wettest places in the world, and is as beautiful raining as it is with clear skies. When it rains, waterfalls spring up anywhere, too many to count. * Boat cruise on the Sound (fiord) * Te Anau glow-worm caves * Wanaka - the view of the alps across the gleaming waters of Lake Wanaka are magnificent * Queenstown - many outdoor activities and panormaic views of the Remarkables Mountain Range * Aoraki/Mt. Cook Village perched below Aoraki/Mt. Cook, New Zealands’ highest peak - beautiful walks & vistas * Glaciers - Fox & Franz Josef Glaciers - only glaciers in the world that descend into rainforest * Rainforest, lagoons & long stretches of wilderness coast * Punakaiki pancake rocks and blowholes * Hanmar Springs Thermal Reserve - extensive, pool complex * Kaikoura * Whale watching boat trip (all dependent on weather and whale presence) * Swim with dolphins boat trip (dependent on weather and dolphin presence) * Maori Tour - Visit various local sites, storytelling, explanations of Maori ways & medicines, cultural differences & more * Mountain Passes * Waterfalls * Nature Reserves * National Parks * Wonderful villages and shops * Maori legends as we travel * Sites from Lord of the Rings films * Lovely Accommodations in Motels, Hotels &/or B&B’s in great settings * Options on your own (extra) - Bungi Jumping, Jet-boat rides, scenic plane or helicopter flights, hang gliding, whitewater rafting, gondola rides, horse riding, and much more North Island - Magnificent beaches, Maori culture, geysers, thermal pools, hot springs, water activities * Rotorua - Spa City of the South Pacific & the heartland of New Zealand’s Maori culture Rotorua is a smallish city on the shores of Lake Rotorua. The surrounding areas are a geothermal wonderland, with geysers, boiling mud pools, and steaming craters. Rotorua is also a showcase of Maori cultural activities, a centre of tourism and a place of extraordinary natural beauty. It is surrounded by volcanoes, lakes, parks and recreational areas, and is a great place to go hiking or to view native birds and animals * Wai-o-tapu - geothermal area known for its brilliant colors - hot pools & Lady Knox Geyser * Whakarewarewa - The Living Thermal Village - Set amidst a landscape of erupting geysers, hot thermal springs and bubbling mud pools, is the living village of Whakarewarewa. Experience the unique lifestyle of the Maori in a natural, Maori village setting. Whakarewarewa, where the Goddesses of fire, Te Pupu and Te Hoata, emerged from the earth’s core, inhaling and exhaling, creating the geysers, hot springs and mud pools. * Lake Taupo * Hidden Valley of Orakei Korako (“the place of adorning”) - geothermal wonderland of gushing geysers & boiling mud pools * Maori Culture The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Their name is derived from Ma-Uri, which means Children of Heaven. * Hangi - Enjoy Maori kai (food) cooked on hot stones underground as part of a traditional hangi * Kapa Haka - listen to kapa haka (traditional performances of song and dance) Here you’ll be spellbound by stories relayed through song, dance and art. Legends passed on through the years transform the handiwork of two sisters of the spirit world, carrying fire to their frozen and dying brother, into the geothermal energy that abounds in Rotorua today. The 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera, now a sleeping giant, is steeped in fascinating and mysterious tales. * Maori legends as we travel * Lovely Accommodations in Motels, Hotels, Cottages &/or B&B’s in great settings Tentative Itinerary - South Island Day 1 - Arrive in Invercargill on south coast of the South Island after transferring on arrival in New Zealand at Auckland airport. From there we will travel to Te Anau (“cave with a current of swirling water”), on Lake Te Anau, in Fiordland. Rest and recover from jetlag. Overnight in Te Anau for next 2 nights Day 2 - Day in Te Anau - travel by boat across the lake to a Glowworm cave - rediscovered in 1948 - a short underground boat ride, a glowworm grotto and waterfalls. Day 3 - Free time in Te Anau - possible options (extra cost) are Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre, Te Anau Wildlife Centre, lake cruises, kayaking, jetboat rides past Lord of the Rings locations on the placid Waiau River, quad- biking in the high backcountry with stunning view of lakes, scenic helicopter or plane flights, horse riding, walks, biking, &/or shopping. Day 4 - Travel to Milford Sound “Piopiotahi” (a fiord) - often referred to as “The Eighth Natural Wonder of the World”. Fiordland is one of the wettest places in the world, and is as beautiful raining as it is with clear skies. When it rains, waterfalls spring up anywhere, too many to count. We will experience an incredible drive to Milford Sound, along Lake Te Anau, through Eglinton Valley, where the road penetrates into steeper bush-clad mountains, past Mirror Lake and winding through sub-alpine wonderland to bare rock walls for the seemingly impassable head of the Hollyford River. Then travel through the Homer Tunnel to the steep Cleddau Valley with “The Chasm - near vertical rapids; Humboldt Falls, a three-step cascade leaping some 200m and possibly the highest falls near a road in Australasia; and then straight down to Milford Sound. Milford Sound is the most northerly and most celebrated of Fiordland’s 15 fiords with vertical sides towering 1200m above the sea and waterfalls plunging from hanging valleys. We will have a fascinating boat trip on the sound which includes visiting waterfalls, seal colonies, overhanging rock faces, viewing Mitre Peak and visiting Milford Deep Underwater Observatory consisting of a floating platform moored to a sheer rock with spiral staircase to a underwater gallery where windows look out on coral and plant species. Overnight near the Sound or other area. Day 5 - Travel to Queenstown or Wanaka, in a beautiful setting looking across Lake Wakatipu to the beautiful The Remarkables mountain range. (see below for some options for the afternoon and evening). Overnight in Queenstown or Wanaka for 2 nights.

  • Submission to the Productivity Commission on the Draft Report on Better Urban Planning
    SUBMISSION TO THE PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION ON THE DRAFT REPORT ON BETTER URBAN PLANNING 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The New Zealand Airports Association ("NZ Airports") welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Productivity Commission's Draft Report on Better Urban Planning ("Draft Report"). 1.2 NZ Airports has submitted on the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill ("RLAB") and presented to the Select Committee on the RLAB, and has also submitted on the Proposed National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity ("NPS-UDC"). Our members have also been closely involved in extensive plan review processes in Auckland and Christchurch. Such participation is costly and time consuming - but necessary, given the important role the planning framework plays in our operations. 1.3 As discussed in our previous submissions, it is fundamental to the development of productive urban centres that residential and business growth does not hinder the effective current or future operation of New Zealand's airports. 1.4 In our view, the Draft Report does not adequately acknowledge the importance of significant infrastructure like airports in the context of urban planning and the need to effectively manage reverse sensitivity effects on such infrastructure. This is reflected in some of the Commission's recommendations which seek to limit notification and appeal rights and introduce the ability to amend zoning without using the Schedule 1 process in the Resource Management Act 1991 ("RMA"). NZ Airports has major concerns with such recommendations as they stand to significantly curtail the ability of infrastructure providers to be involved in planning processes and have their key concerns, such as reverse sensitivity effects, taken into account.

  • January 2006 Temperature
    NATIONAL CLIMATE CENTRE WEDNESDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2006 National Climate Summary – January 2006 Temperature: Well below average in the west of the South Island; above average in the east of the North Island Central Otago heat-wave toward the end of the month Rainfall: Well above normal in Northland, inland Bay of Plenty, Taupo, and Southland; well below normal in Horowhenua Soil moisture: Significant deficits in the east of the South Island, and southwest of the North Island Sunshine: Normal or above throughout New Zealand Western South Island temperatures plummeted in January, especially noticeable after one of the warmest Decembers on record. Mean January temperatures were as much as 1.5 °C below average in parts of Westland and Fiordland. They were also below average in several other southern and western South Island regions. Temperatures however, were above average in the east of the North Island. The national average temperature was 17.0 °C, the same as the 1971-2000 normal. A heat-wave occurred in Central Otago toward the end of the month, Alexandra recording maximum temperatures of 36 °C for three consecutive days from the 27-29th, unheard of in their historical record, which commenced in 1930. A mixed pattern of rainfall occurred over New Zealand in January, with relatively high totals in parts of Northland, inland Bay of Plenty, Taupo, and Southland, and comparatively low totals in Horowhenua. Significant soil moisture deficits developed in northern and eastern regions of both Islands until a depression of tropical origin produced substantial rainfall in those regions during 24-25 January. However, high rainfall did not affect the southern and eastern South Island, and significant soil moisture deficits persisted in parts of Canterbury and Central Otago, as well as Manawatu, Wellington, and Wairarapa.

  • The Carbon Footprint of Domestic Tourism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Lincoln University Research Archive The Carbon Footprint of Domestic Tourism Technical report August 2009 2 Author: Dr. Susanne Becken Associate Professor Environment, Society & Design Division Director of LEaP Research Centre www.leap.ac.nz Commissioned by: The Hikurangi Foundation PO Box 25335 Panama Street, Wellington. Aotearoa/New Zealand +64 (0)4 905 2923 www.hikurangi.org.nz The Hikurangi Foundation is made possible by: The Tindall Foundation The Todd Foundation Disclaimer: The purpose of this report is to promote discussion and positive action. The views in this report are not necessarily the policy of the Hikurangi Foundation. 3 Foreword Hikurangi is about enabling action for a better way of life for New Zealanders. We would like to see a prosperous economy and strong society underpinned by a thriving environment. Climate change is an extremely serious threat to all of these things. But it can be tackled. In fact, acting on climate change and sustainable development is probably the only way businesses and communities will prosper in the long run. But we need forward-thinking action, now. We see the Tourism sector as critical, particularly domestic tourism, but we wanted to know more about the potential contribution to the solution that it could make. That’s why we commissioned this work to help us understand the carbon footprint of domestic tourism in New Zealand. Recent events and trends in the sector point to a potentially greater dependence on local tourism, but with its comparatively high carbon footprint (as this research reveals) this could be problematic for New Zealand.
