  • Hike Fox Glacier
  • Get scuba-certified at the Great Barrier Reef
  • Surf the gold coast/brisbane
A few ideas that you may want to check out;

- White water rafting (NZ)
- A trip to White Island (from e.g. Rotorua, drive to Whakatane, take a helicopter from there)
- Waitomo caves (e.g. Lost World)
- Tongariro Crossing

A few friends were a bit disappointed with the zorbing. If timing is right, you may also consider skiing at Mt. Ruapehu -- a friend thought skiing next to an active volcano was pretty cool.
