New Zealand Adventure Stories
| The last great land mass to be settled by humans, New Zealand is modern yet sparsely populated with spectacular mountain ranges, deep fjords, scenic coastlines and lots of adventurous activities. Paradise for the outdoorsy, New Zealand is also the adrenaline capital of the world, offering travelers lots of opportunities for thrill seeking and exploring. | New Zealand's Tongariro National Park is like the surface of the moon. Here, John M. Edwards defies the gravitas of gravity and climbs a volcano - Mt. Ngauruhoe, Mordor's Mount Doom from the Lord of the Rings flicks - without knowing how to get back down. |
| Esther Paddon takes off on her annual trek to the top of Mt. Peel. | Brittney Bush spent four months in New Zealand, but never told anyone about the night she spent in terror of an animal after her muesli. |
| Jim Emmett jumps a train on the way back from the pub - and finds himself 100km from his hostel. | Charles Beauzay tests his strenght Sea Kayaking in Abel-Tasman |
| Leif Pettersen has a fear of heights that is more or less incapacitating, so there was no question that whatever high-flying activity he chose, he'd need to bring smelling salts, a defibrillator and clean underwear. | Mike Paglia takes on death-defying heights at a rope course in New Zealand. |
| Chris Allen guides you through the ropes of climbing Mt. Tutoko in New Zealand. | There are plenty of places to put your kayak in New Zealand and Chris Allen knows most of 'em. |
