One of my most favorite trips I’ve taken involved taking a cruise around New Zealand. It is definitely in my bucket list to go back again – the cruise was a nice way to get a feel for the area, but it didn’t allow for too much exploration. These photographs were taken either at port or while on the ship.
Easily one of the most beautiful places on earth is Fiordland of the South Island. Our cruise ship took us right through Milford Sound and my goodness was it a sight to behold. One of my favorite shots was a tour boat and kayakers approaching one of the most majestic of the waterfalls seen throughout the Milford Sound.
One of the perks of seeing New Zealand via cruise was when the ship went into port bright and early in the morning. The sights at sunrise were absolutely spectacular. This particular shot was taken while coming into the port of Akaroa located on the South Island.
Because we didn’t have enough of being on an island already, my sister and I decided it would be fun to explore another, smaller island off the coast of Auckland called Rangitoto Island. It’s the youngest volcano located in New Zealand thus is full of beautiful scenery. It even has the bonus of having caves you can explore!
