Default Re: Kiwis and fans of New Zealand: tell me where I should go

Thanks, fragment.

So the timeframe would be late October to mid-November. I was aiming for springtime, but if you think that's too early, then let me know. I've been warned that weather is still fickle that time of year.

Also, if there are any holidays I should know about - or avoid -please let me know. I understand there's a Labo(u)r Day coming up soon....?

I have four nights in Queenstown, on this itinerary. So I either need to change it, or figure out how to navigate the tourist traps...
I'd be up for some river rafting. I've been doing that in the Pacific Northwest for 20+ years, so I'm well acquainted with the requirements and risks.

If I can trim a day or two out of this itinerary and exchange it for a free, unscheduled day (i.e, to find my own off-the-path entertainment) then so much the better. I have already added an extra day in Auckland, and an extra day in Rotorua to visit the movie set of a well-known film that badly disparaged my name.:frodo::gandalf::gollum2::eomer:

Would like to hear your opinion about:

* Waiheke?
* Rangitoto?
* Hawke's Bay and Napier?
* Dunedin?
* Milford Sound - worth a change of itinerary to see it?
