Take your rental car and drive just fifteen minutes outside of town to Moonlight Stables. There are 800 acres of ranch land and horseback riding through open fields. You’ll ride between mountain peaks and see some of the best views ever in a country that is known for its gorgeous views. Less than $100 to ride.

Or try Dart Stables, longer drive outside of Queenstown New Zealand. Lord of the Rings was filmed here! That tells you how great the scenery is…when part of a major motion picture is filmed there! Horseback riding costs about $20 more than at Moonlight Stables. Located at 58 Coll ST. in Glenorchy.

Visit Oamaru on the east coast of the South Island. There are blue penguins here! In the early evening, they come out of the water after fishing all day and return to their nests. Do not disturb!!! Go to Waterfront Road in Oamaru. $15 charge.
