A must if you're going this way, and even if you aren't you really should. Why travel to Fiji or Hawaii I say! This isn't that busy and is easily walked by the whole family. There are day trips and kayaking trips available everyday and is a very worthwhile experience.

Slightly hidden away on the outskirts of Wanaka, this museum is a huge collection of stuff; it's like someone just kept on buying stuff, and sticking it in a shed. In fact, several large hangars.

The scenery was gorgeous, and skydiving was amazing, but the people weren't so great. They were not friendly, and didn't seem willing to even pretend to like us. I kind of thought that since we were spending $300 each, they would be nice to us! I don't need coddling, but the girl that took our mo...
