After our little sojourn out to the Tasman Sea from Milford Sound, the ferry beat a hasty retreat back to protected waters. We’d been surprised at how quickly the waves had picked up on our outbound journey. Little did we realize that we were getting a tiny taste of what many sailors regard as one […]

Watercraft and waterfalls – what a combination This was one of my favorite photos from our land tour of New Zealand last year. We were on a boat the size of a large ferry and it was a very smooth ride—until we left Milford Sound and ventured out a short distance into the Tasman Sea. […]

Rushing water at The Chasm You can hear the rushing water of the Cleddau River from far away on the trail at The Chasm. It’s one way in, one way out, so you can’t really miss this sight. It’s pretty amazing, and pleasantly loud. Even if this river hadn’t been right near the pathway, I […]

These amazing woods were the perfect opportunity to stretch our legs and enjoy the peace and quiet of a forest. Even with so many visitors at one time, it still felt […]

Welcome to Arrowtown, New Zealand Arrowtown, New Zealand was one of our afternoon stops. There were plenty of places to grab coffee or a snack, and more for things like jewelry, clothing, or artwork.

Everyone was gathered on the observation deck, many hanging out over the protective three-foot-high fence to snap photos.

What a ride! As you’re climbing up the mountain to Skyline Queenstown, there are times when it looks like you’re heading straight into the side of the mountain. Those of us with our backs to the mountain were treated to a gorgeous view of the lake and valley, but the ones facing the mountain had […]

The shores of Lake Wakatipu are a pristine place to launch small boats, swim, or simply gawk at the views. This mountain lake is about fifty miles long! Surrounded by mountains, Lake Wakatipu has some of the most spectacular views around. It was one of the many highlights of our trip. More photos from New […]
