This trip is what is making me want to go back to New Zealand, everything about it including the tip there was fantastic, such as stopping off on the way (more of this in the video):

It had a fantastic area out the back with a Barbie and perfectly sheltered to sink a few Mac's Gold beers or stare up at the Milky Way during the night which lit itself up like nothing you'll ever get to see around London, broken only by shooting stars and satellites.

We hired sea kayaks for the first couple of days to check out the national park from the sea:

and to check out a few other famous NZ sites like split apple rock:

Of course, I had to do the famous pose:
