This morning we leave Wellington and fly to beautiful Queenstown in the heart of New Zealand's alpine region.
The stretch of coastline as you head north this morning is the prettiest on the whole West Coast. In fact it is widely accepted as one of the finest in the world, especially beautiful early in the mornings when mists cling to the sea facing hillsides. Then it's through the spectacular Buller Gorge and ever changing landscapes until you reach the small town of Motueka, start-off point to the Abel Tasman National Park.
For an exhilarating experience, make a stop at Charleston and go underground tubing in the spectacular Nile River Cave System. You'll float along small rapids and through natural underground chambers that are home to millions of glow worms. The beauty of the surrounding bushland is a another feature of this unforgettable experience.
