4.0 out of 5 stars Practical off-beat travel tips as seen on TV, July 11, 2004

This review is from: Globe Trekker: New Zealand (DVD)

This is an episode from the TV series (depending upon your location, called "Lonely Planet", "Globe Trekker", or "Pilot Productions").
You can see more about it at http://www.globetrekkertv.com
This episode covers travels on the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand.
Your travel host is Ian Wright (a truly zany bloke).
Focus is on travel-on-a-shoestring methods, and off-the-beaten-path sights, and gives you a realistic sense of "being there".
Locations visited: [North Island] Auckland, Maori meeting house in Matauri Bay, Bay of Islands, Rotorua volcanic area, crossing at Wellington; [South Island] Christchurch, Queenstown, and Fox Glacier.
Although funny as ever, this episode was not able to thorougly cover many worthy sights in a (what is for most people undexpectedly) large country.

This review is from: Globe Trekker: New Zealand (DVD)

In a nutshell: He travels 1/2 way around the world to go show us the bars and thrill rides of New Zealand and only mentions in passing the things that someone would really want to go to New Zealand to see.
If you really want to see a show about New Zealand, forget this one. If you want to see a show about bars, why not just go to a local bar?

I saw this episode on the television. Ian was obviously bored stiff traveling in NZ.
