The Queenstown half-day walk felt like a big waste of money

The half-day walk was billed as “the best of native flora and bird-life. Native birds are readily seen and heard. You’ll be introduced to an array of edible and medicinal plants used by Maori and European settlers on this fun half day walk ... a...More

Fantastic Day

Review of: Walk the Famous Routeburn Track
