Native Canopy

The views above the native forest canopy as we soared on the Skywire were stunning! We hit 92kph going forward, but returning BACKWARDS at 75kph was the most unforgettable moment!

Wine Tasting

We visited Wollaston Estate for some wine tasting... funny seeing sheep wandering through the bare grapevines!

Abel Tasman National Park

A group of us went on a reckkie to Nelson last week to orientate ourselves and experience the region so that we can promote it wholeheartedly. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best and so we only spent an hour in the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park. I'd love to go back in the summer to walk and kayak the Park. Check out Split Apple Rock :)

I'm Still Buzzing!!!

NZONE

What a rush! I didn't stop buzzing for hours after my 15,000ft NZONE skydive! It was absolutely awesome! I totally recommend it! There wasn't any time to freak out... we just slid out the plane door and soared free-falling for one minute at terminal velocity! We then drifted back to ground taking in the stunning views around Queenstown. My teeth were chilled as I couldn't stop smiling despite the minus twenty degree temperatures :)

Shotover Jet

We screamed with excitement as the Shotover Jet took us through the Skippers Canyon at speeds of up to 80km/h!

WinterFest

I helped host several journalists at the American Express Queenstown Winter Festival over the weekend. The town was packed with thousands of tourists there to see the fireworks, go to the Jazz Night, enjoy a cabaret show, see the parade, hit the ski slopes etc!

Lake Wanaka

Before hosting journalists at the American Express Queenstown Winter Festival I stopped over in Lake Wanaka to visit Wayne's aunt and uncle, and stay with my buddy Renee. Wow, what a stunning region to live in! I can see why there's a slow exodus from Auckland to Central Otago :)
