Très intéressant. Notre guide avait plein d'histoires a raconter, que ce soit sur l'histoire, l'industrie de la région ou les oiseaux ! Un bout de terre vraiment impressionnant !

Pristine Farewell Spit
We had a lovely day. We enjoyed seeing a part of NZ in its natural state, a variety of bird life and even seals. The views were amazing.
