Where the Wild Things Are

Boston Herald travel writer recommends the South Island to all thrill-seeking tourists, “whether they prefer their adrenaline rush natural or manmade.” An extensive tour includes Tairoa Head, Arthur’s Pass, Otira Gorge, and the Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers. The verdict? Fun as they are, bungy, para-gliding and jet boat racing “pale beside the natural thrills NZ has in abundance.”
