I’ve just finished travelling in and around New Zealand and Australia on tour with the Springbok Rugby team and commentating on the overseas leg of the Tri Nations Rugby tournament, and with the upcoming Rugby World Cup taking in place in New Zealand next year, we thought it would be a fantastic idea to showcase some of the more exciting tourist attractions that are available to those of you who will be flying across the ocean to visit this beautiful country during the tournament.

New Zealand is very much the adrenaline junky’s ultimate dream, from Skiing and Bungee Jumping to Extreme Fishing and Sailing. There is loads of fun to experience in this amazing country. They have been great hosts and I look forward to spending some more time here next year.

I have attached a short video highlighting some of the activities of my trip. Let me know what you think.

Best,
Bob

    Jumping out of a copter, on to a marlin? I pissed myself! Ha ha ha! Man I can’t WAIT to get there. That clip on its own would make the trip more than worth the while.

    What a monumental waste of my time, I almost fell asleep twice. At least you got NZ tourism to pay for your adventures Bob.

    S**t, it does provide an alternative to write about the other reason you went to NZ!

    Tough, buddy, tough… To be honest after moving here from ‘stralia I’d say the only other place I’d consider as amazing as Cape Town and SA in general is Enn Zid.

    Great people, two amazing islands, awesome wine, heaps of snow and a more crazy ‘boys’ activities than you can shake a stick at! All the kiwis in aussi purposely run down their home as they don’t really want the place over run by kangaroos!

    Can’t wait for the world cup. Deffo going a bit early and coming back a bit later so I can get a camper van and cruise. Ohau, temple basin and the club fields are great snow places, dont’ just go to Queenstown and Wanaka.
