He then heads up the coast to Matauri Bay and the Bay of the Islands. On the South Island he visits Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, before climbing the amazing Fox Glacier. Along the way... Wreck dive the Rainbow Warrior. Attend a Pofari ceremony in a Maori community. Go punting in Christchurch. Sample a piece of Kiwi madness and do a bit of Zorbing.
