There are many ways to explore certain tourist attractions here in New Zealand and you can always drive to the destination, you could take a bus and if you really want to splash out, I suppose you can take a helicopter ride. Any tourist guide will tell you however that you will miss out on some of the more important and intimate things because you’re too far away to enjoy them.
This is why many suggest walking as the best way to explore somewhere new and the good news is that you can take advantage of New Zealand walking tours where you get to visit the best spots that we have to offer and you actually get to see them in person. If you’ve never really thought about taking a walking tour before then the following are just some of the reasons why it is the best way.
- You really get close up – In order to appreciate something or someone fully, you actually need to be right there in front of it or them. There is nothing quite like meeting a local person as you explore somewhere in New Zealand and many will stop and have a chat with you. They are more than happy to tell you about the unknown spots that not very many people really get to see.
- You enjoy a different perspective – It isn’t the same watching a landscape or a tourist attraction from the inside of a bus or car. When you are walking around, there are so many things to see on your left, on your right, above and below you.
- You will get some essential exercise – This is one of the major selling points of taking a walking tour because not only do you get to enjoy your vacation time but you also get to be fitter, stronger and healthier. Walking gets the blood flowing and the heart pumping which is incredibly good for cardiovascular health and mental health.
You will actually be able to stop and smell the flowers, as well as take some fantastic photographs with your smartphone. You can stop for as long as you like and then move on when you think that you have seen everything. Start to enjoy New Zealand as it really is and take advantage of the many walking tours which are made available to you today.
