Part of the value in travel is being able tosurprise "the folks back home" with something they've never heard of, gaining all that cachet of being a bold adventurer willing to try something completely new in an exotic location. If you and your peers are "fish-crazy", thenkite fishing in New Zealand with T.I.M.E. Unlimited may be just the ticket. While New Zealand offers a wide range of recreational activities in its opposite-season array of reasons to visit, this is a new one. Participants get to control giant kiteswhich have fishing lines attached to them - think really extreme fly fishing, with the kites ferrying the lines out well beyond the breakers over deeper water which theoreticallyholds bigger fish. You are not actually up "on" the kite yourself, but on the shore maneuvering the kites, which can travel out about a mile from shore.
The kite fishing component can be added to a more extensive adventure-oriented trip to New Zealand. You can check out some special prices on the "Blackboard Deals" page from Air New Zealand.
By the way, Air New Zealand is part of the Star Alliance network of airlines, which offers some intriguing around-the-world fares. One of the curiosities of around-the-world fares is that they can sometimes add up to less than a round-trip first-class ticket to just a single destination, and many airlines will really strive to help such intrepid travelers accomplish their goals. The program provided by the Star Alliance allows for up to 15 individual stops on your personal circuit of the earth.
