Let the glorious redwood trees tower over you as you walk through the suspended bridges and platforms. Take a break on this 40-minute treetop stroll and give yourself to the peaceful atmosphere created by these gentle giants.

Connect with the deep history of the Māori at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Culture Institute and immerse yourself in the stories and culture passed down for generations. Watch the commanding and sacred Haka performance while you are there. 

"It gave me goosebumps!  Being from Delhi and travelling across the world, I see a lack of belonging and so much loss of culture. Māori culture showed how the values of cooperation, respect, and humility have been ingrained across the population of the country" - Brinda 

A thirst for something exhilarating? Take a leap off the historic Kawarau Bridge in the heart of New Zealand's adventure capital Queenstown, a thrill-seeking experience tried and tested by Anunay himself. Surround yourself with the beauty of the grand rocks and glistening river as you plunge 43 meters down the world's first bungy station. 

Adrenaline junkies can also look forward to speeding down the Kawarau river on a jet boat while taking in the beauty of New Zealand waterways. Anticipate sharp turns and splashes through the heart of one of New Zealand's most historic gold mining regions!

Take a trip to abandoned gold mining areas near Arrow River on a thrilling jeep ride. Learn how to spot for gold in the waters and watch the specks of gold dust sparkle in your bowl when you succeed.

Explore the famed fiord on a scenic cruise through the pristine waters. Surround yourself around the cascading waterfalls that only get more majestic when it rains. Choose between a 4 hour daytrip by car, or an hour-long scenic flight via helicopter! Highly recommended by Anunay as the top activity to do in New Zealand. 

Stroll through the fragrant, purple lavender fields of Wanaka for a romantic date against the Instagrammable backdrop of the Southern Alps. Treat yourself to lavender-infused desserts at the farm's café after.
