NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE! 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Kevin Grooman
August 15, 2019

It has been five years since some friends and I spent an amazing five weeks riding motorcycles all over New Zealand. I will be dropping a post or two a week outlining the journey in a similar fashion to what I did for my thru-hikes; summaries, photos, and a few videos peppered in.

The trip is split up into five parts, outlined below, and each part will have three to four bite-sized posts. Stay tuned!

Part 1: Lots of off-roading from Christchurch to Queenstown. Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, Black Forest Road, Danseys Pass, and broken down bikes.

Part 2: Meeting up with the rest of the crew. Queenstown, Whitewater Rafting, Milford Sound, and Haast Pass to the West Coast.

Part 3: The West Coast, heading back inland, and the final stretch to Picton where we took the ferry to the North Island. Glaciers, Pancake Rocks, the Rainbow Road, and lots more camping.

Part 4: The South of the North Island. Wellington, NYE Music Festival, a failed attempt at the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, and Lake Taupo.

Part 5: The rest of the North Island. Mount Maunganui, Mount Doom, Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Glow worm caves, surfing, Auckland, and Cathedral Cave.
