the way we EXPLORE

The highlight of this week has been taking Mat away on a date. I think it definitely ranks up there on the special date-ometer!

On a girls’ mountain biking break, Liz French and four friends tackled three very different mountain bike tracks in the central North Island.

The west coast of Auckland stretches for miles and miles of unreal beauty. If you feel like a change from the blue sky and white sand of our east coast beaches, explore the untouched beauty of the wild west.

Mike Bodnar and his wife Liz left their jobs, sold their Wellington home, and abandoned friends and family to go and live on a boat in France. Their mascot for the trip became a dead fish.

The last time Nathan Buchan was spotted out and about at The Mount was back in summer. This local boy is now a full-time traveller.

At the shoot for House of Travel Tauranga (HOTTauranga - what a great acronym!), owner Shane wouldn't stand still.

Wellington is a wonderful place to visit again and again. No matter how many times you leave and come back, there is always something new to discover.

Hanging on to New Zealand’s magical North Island, the Coromandel Peninsula is most accurately described as paradise away from paradise. Are you ready to discover your own slice of heaven?

Hamilton is one of our most Insta-perfect cities. We sent Alex and Kseniia for a day trip to scout out the best photo opportunities for social media.

We wanted a weekend away with our children, an antidote to screen time: adventure, laughing, and fun. And we didn’t want to spend ages travelling. So we took a staycation in Rotorua!

Ruapehu Mountain Hosts enhance the ski experience for those new to the fields, wanting company or seeking fresh tracks.

This summer I met BRENT BOURGEOIS, a well known Mount local. He had an idea to SUP from AUCKLAND to TAURANGA and asked if I wanted to come as support crew.
