Great that you included Abel Tasman in your itinerary as unfortunately many tourists miss out on this unique part of NZ and which is actually a protected national park. If travelling to Abel Tasman absolutely recommend the kayak tours with the baby seals 😁

Great Job. I liked that you named specific walks and small towns that you enjoyed. I also appreciate the flexibility of this trip which can easily be modified to include more or less days on the road.

Milford Sound in rain is amazing as well thousands of temporary waterfalls running down the massive cliffs everywhere it really looks like the mountains are crying

Because of Covid you will almost certainly not get a visa as our borders are closed to almost everyone. Returning Kiwi citizens have to spend 2 week in an isolation hotel - now at their own considerable expense - and I don't think you will be allowed in yet.

I wouldn't recommend the watersports in Wanaka. It's a very cold lake and If you're just spending a day I'd recommend a nice walk around the waterfront and check out the town centre. Its nice and cute and a bit more Kiwi than the absolute tourist town that is Queenstown and Arrowtown (when the shuttles of overseas tourists come in)

Sand flies are such a pain! Prepare natural remedies like sprinkling a little vinegar, or essential oils like eucalytus, lavender, or tea tree oil your clothes. Don't get it on your eyes! You can of course buy different kind of sand flies deterrent from the chemist/pharmacy To relieve the itchiness apply calamine or menthol lotion. Placing cold, damp cloth or ice pack on the affected area for 5-10 minutes or until itchiness stops.

I wanted get get a drone for an upcoming trip to NZ but I was scared off by all the mentions of the very strict drone regulations they've got and from others I got the impression you are hardly allowed to fly it anywhere and requires loads of paperwork. How have you experenced this? Is it less complicated than it appears to be and worth it for just personal pictures/videos ?

Hey, yes they are pretty strict in New Zealand. In national parks you can’t fly but there still is quite a few places that are not a problem flying recreationally.
