Melissa and I just returned from our honeymoon trip to New Zealand! We traveled across the north island with a company called Active Adventures, and our itinerary including hiking, biking, snorkeling, rafting, and learning about the culture and history of the country. The trip culminated with an all-day hike on the Tongariro Crossing - a 12-mile alpine hike with steep climbs that included views of smoking volcanic craters and vibrant sulfur pools. This was a grueling trek but we absolutely loved it! We finished our hiking adventure with a visit to Hobbiton where we wandered around the Lord of the Rings movie set. We hope to return to New Zealand soon!
