Richie says: “I’ve flown through this area a few times and have seen how spectacular it is. You have to fly in or hike over the Brodrick Pass to start the trip, then you can spend a few days rafting and camping your way out. I’d love to do this.”
Stuff Travel says: If there is one must-do for New Zealanders, especially for those who love wilderness and nature, it would have to be rafting the Landsborough River on the West Coast in summer.

I’m aware I’m preempting things a bit here, but “hey Australians, welcome back!”. I know we have to wait a few more days to learn when the trans-Tasman bubble will finally inflate, but I don’t think it’s too soon to fill you in on what you’ve been missing since you’ve been banned from visiting.
