It was pretty, but that was a lot of travelling, and would have been even worse if we had not flown and taken another bus ride that was about 2H each way. We also kind of prefer to set foot on land and see local anmimals/birds when possible, but it just wasn't practical there. Anywway, here are the pictures:
very weird slide, maybe the ground collapsed somehow?
all the cool critters you can't really see from the boat :)
it would have been nice to see a Kakapo, the world's biggest parrot
all those pictures are there to trick you, kiwi aren't out during the day
the engine air vents on the bus were cute :)
I guess you can see the area from a cruise ship too :)
it's impressive that the trees can grow in such steep slopes
they have the longest species of dolphins, but we only saw them from far
