      Auckland Jun 4, 2013 at 10:41 PM

      Hey are there any Koreans living or traveling through Auckland around 11th July 2013. I got a lady friend who will be there for 3 weeks from that time and it's her first time to travel out of Asia so she's nervous.... she's looking for Korean 20 somethings and 30 somethings WOMEN to hang out with...also Japanese WOMEN are okay as she speak Japanese well. Additionally could you recommend any good International guesthouses for her to stay at? She can speak a little English so she would like to meet and hang out with people from other countries. She is currently living in Japan. Your help would be really appreciated ;-)

      Doing LOTR Tours on our own

      New Zealand May 27, 2013 at 1:39 AM

      Hi,

      I'm thinking of visiting New Zealand in May/June next year. Just wondering, is it possible to drive and do the LOTR tours on our own? It seems like most people just pay for the tours. For example, are we allowed to enter the Hobbiton site on our own ?

      Also, in terms of routes, would you recommend going from Auckland towards the South Island, or to land in Auckland, fly straight to Christchurch and then head northward? Or is there no difference?

      Thanks.

      Franz Josef - full day or half day tour?

      by tracyskf Online Now Feb 1, 2010 at 10:07 AM

      I would like an honest opinion from someone who have been to the FJ glacier with the FJ Guides. I am definitely going to FJ in March in a small group (all small sized ladies) and we need to decide on full day or half day tour. Which is recommended (although the difference is mentioned on the FAQ of the website)? I am not very fit - I would be able to walk for whole day in shopping malls, but not sure when it comes to glacier what would be the fitness level required. Please give me some opinion. Thanks very much!

      Hi all, I am looking for a hike (or combination of few short walks) for a total of about 90 minutes in duration. Can anyone recommend me which one is best for scenery? There are a good selection of tracks here: doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recrea... Unfortunately, I don't have time to do them all... Thanks in advance!

      Best time for photographs

      by JohanIsWeg Online Now Nov 10, 2008 at 9:23 PM

      We're considering a heli-hike on the Franz Josef Glacier or a day walk on Fox Glacier. What time of day, in general, would provide the best views? Does the weather (and visibility) deteriorate later in the day, or do you generally find poor weather conditions early in the morning? Sissi made a good point in an earlier forum about time of day not really being applicable for heli-hikes as it's so high up, while early morning would give better photo opportunities with fewer shadows etc. Is this still the reigning opinion? Any other experiences, pearls of wisdom? Thanks.
