We recently had cause to travel to the lovely area of the North Canterbury, South Island, NZ and decided as it was long weekend to explore. Travelling to Lake Tennyson via the Molesworth Road and returned to Marlborough via the Kaikoura coast we had a tantalising taste of the magnificent Clarence Reserve. Alpine flowers were just coming into bloom. Weather varied from thick fog to hot sunny weather. High country tours tailored to your interests and fitness are available with Driftwood eco tours.

Here are some of the stunning birds we viewed on a recent kayak tour at the Wairau Lagoon, the weather has been very good for kayaking and recent visitors from the US had the thrill of setting a sail to zest up their trip home. There have never been so many Royal Spoonbills seen in the area in my exprience. It is always magic to see them in flight and they are very photogenic.
