    "If you don't see it, you can also say that you can see it! That's the case after seeing it! But also said that it is recommended to see it! After all, it is an experience! We caught up with the rain and were always worried that it would be cancelled or we could not see the whale. Fortunately, we set off on time, and saw the third stop, which was a bit far away! Need a telescope or telephoto lens"
    Kaikoura
    >100km from Wellington
    Highlights: Get up close and personal with the world's largest toothed predator, the giant sperm whale. If you are lucky, you will have the opportunity to see rare dark spotted dolphins, Hector's dolphins, New Zealand fur seals and other animals during the voyage.

    "The first time I saw sea lions gather at such a close distance. There are a lot of sea lions, just on the trail, generally requiring humans and sea lions to maintain a two-meter safe distance, still very lazy, lying on the rock, a little cute, a little taste."
    Kaikoura
    >100km from Wellington
    Highlights: Kaikoura is the gateway to New Zealand's marine wildlife, with more than 5000 New Zealand fur sea lions living along the coast. The fur sea lion colony here has been named New Zealand's most popular landmark tourist attraction. In Kaikoura, you can experience first-hand how New Zealanders live in harmony with wild animals, and you can see naive sea lions. When admiring the animals, don't get too close.

    "The trail is arguably the most successful link in New Zealand tourism. The trails are in all directions and allow visitors to measure and read the beauty of the pure earth and the rich flora and fauna."
    Kaikoura Peninsula
    >100km from Wellington
    Highlights: The Kaikoura Peninsula Trail is a favorite for photographers and hikers, exploring the beauty and wildlife of the Kaikoura Peninsula along the trail. It may take a day to complete the trail, if you are short on time, it is recommended to experience the first part.

    "Lake Taupo is particularly large, big to like a sea, is a must-see attraction that can not be missed when traveling to New Zealand's South Island! If you live in the city, stroll to the lake, there are many sailing yachts, and there are golf sports directly to the lake. The people of New Zealand are really good at playing. The green space by the lake is also very comfortable to lie in the sun. All hotels in the peak travel season are fully booked and must be booked in advance. There is also a huka waterfall nearby to punch in."
    Turangi
    >100km from Wellington
    Highlights: Lake Taupo is New Zealand's largest lake, located on a volcanic plateau in the central North Island. The upper reaches of the Waikato River (known as the Tongariro (Tongariro) River) enters from the south, and the lake flows from the northeast of the lake through the Waikato River. The lake water covers several craters. There are many geothermal hot springs around the lake, which are either used for recuperation or used to generate electricity. Built the Waikato River Hydroelectric Power Plant.

    "The aquarium is just beside the sea, making waves. The shape is round and graffitied. There are many kinds of things in it. You can also see the strange birds. You can see the bright colored fish are very beautiful. There is also a few hundred kilograms of dry, but also see the sea horse swimming and giant turtles. Napier is still a small city to visit."
    Napier South
    >100km from Wellington
    Highlights: The National Aquarium of New Zealand is located in Napier, where visitors can see a wide variety of marine life. Similar to the common aquarium structure, there is an underwater corridor where divers regularly feed the marine life, while children and tourists can also interact with marine life through the glass in the arched glass channel. Not only fish, but also penguins, which are loved by adults and children, live here. What's even more incredible is that, although it is an aquarium, you can still see New Zealand's national treasure bird, KiwiBird.
