NZ FRENZY (North Island New Zealand)

NZ FRENZY (North Island New Zealand) Review

NZ FRENZY (North Island New Zealand) Feature

• Hiking trails
• Waterfalls
• Hot Springs
• Beaches
• Caves

NZ Frenzy is a guidebook to NZ's North Island OUTDOOR places. Please read the reviews, as they'll give you better insight than all my author hoopla (and note in the reviews that EVERY single review from someone who has actually had my book in NZ has given it 5 stars!) Please click on the "Look Inside" button and read some entries. I've personally been to every beach, every hot spring...and hiked all the trails. My book is an attempt to save you time and $ in NZ, while delivering you to the island's unheralded but uber-worthy wonder spots that the mainstream books and tourist publicity gloss over. My book is meant to compliment the mainstream guidebooks, NOT replace them, as I feel you should get a LonelyP or RoughG for your NZ trip. My book is vastly different though. I wrote this guidebook because info about non-commercial stuff is difficult to find in NZ. NZ Frenzy is ALL ABOUT the outdoor spots that don't receive all the tourist publicity. My guide does give you info about the touristy places like Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves, Tongariro Crossing, etc...but mainly my book is about the off-the-beaten-track unpublicized, uncommercialized wonder spots---the places NZ Tourism doesn't tell you about because nobody is making $$ off them. NZ Tourism, Lonely P, etc are great at directing you how to spend $$ and be a "tourist"....my book will get you away from the crowds to places that'll make your jaw drop again and again!! I guarantee it! Even if the North is only one week of your trip, my book will be worth every penny. When you get to Hot Water Beach or Cape Reinga or Waitomo, etc ...and see disappointing busloads of tourists, you'll be glad to have my book in your hand to give you some other nearby options. Don't waste your precious NZ time. EVERY minute in NZ can be awesome when you have good info at your fingertips! Have the trip of your life!!........Cheers, Scott
