New Zealand Photo: Lake Tekapo
We had so many opportunities to take incredible photos in New Zealand. Each scene was more spectacular than the last and Lake Tekapo was no exception.

So sit back with a cup of coffee and come travel with us for a few moments.
Adventure Travel Wrap Up – A Look Back on 2011
As I sit down to write this 2011 Adventure Travel Round up, I am in shock and awe that we really did all these things in a span of 365 days. We just lived a year of adventure travel that I never thought I would have the opportunity to ever do in my life
Inspired at the Summit of Mount Roy
As I stood, speechless, at the top of Mount Roy in New Zealand, triumphant laughs and hugs were exchanged as we took turns taking photos of one another.I had only been living in Wanaka for a few months but it had become my home, and these people, my family.
Smooth Sailing in Abel Tasman
It was a perfect day in Able Tasman on the north end of the South Island of New Zealand. We had just jumped out of a plane and flew our own stunt plane the day earlier and now we were going on a more relaxing excursion as we sailed along the coat of Abel Tasman National Park.
The Boiling Crater of Wai-O-Tapu
What a sight! When they told us we were going to the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland I was a little skeptical. It sounds like a kids science park. Not really the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the North Island of New Zealand. I was taken by surprise when I entered and [...]

If you manage to only do one hike during your visit to New Zealand, make sure it is the Tongariro Crossing on the North Island. It is considered New Zealand’s best 1-day hike and in many circles it is considered one of the best in the world.
