I’m Denise Irvine and welcome to my site.
I’ve enjoyed adventures throughout New Zealand for over thirty years – I’d love to share them with you, and hope you’ll experience them for yourself.
Our beautiful scenery offers so many opportunities for exploring. Hiking, biking, black and white water rafting, golf carts along old railway lines and beautiful beaches for lazing or body surfing. The list is endless!
One of the nicest things about these adventures is that you meet many like minded people – you enjoy the adventures with them and although may never see them again, they remain a special memory.
Subscribe to email alerts whenever I publish a new post, or you can contact me here, I love to hear feedback from fellow adventurers.
Do enjoy New Zealand and make every minute count.
