Free things to do in winter in New Zealand

"I love this great NZ walk- take one day or three - four to explore this area of the Karamea. If you’re going on the full tramp, make sure you visit the DOC website for information on tracks and huts."

"This magical wee dell is a Hokitika highlight. A short walk down in to the bush and you’ll discover the wonders of glow worms. A great mid winter activity!"

"Not too far from Fox Glacier, Lake Matheson is a glorious display of Mother Nature. I like taking a stroll around the lake and marveling at the stunning wildlife and fauna."
