NZ Adventure Wonderland I: Aoraki-Mt Cook + Queenstown Rafting, Canyoning, Glaciers & Fjords

With our yachting adventures over for now, we shift across to land based adventures that we'd been looking forward to do for years! That's why we've rebranded from Sailing Tranquilo to Expedition Tranquilo! It was high time to head back to New Zealand's South Island and get right into all the amazing adventures on offer. In this first episode we hit the high mountain magnificent trails of Aoraki-Mount Cook (Sealy Tarn and Hooker Track) and then head to what many think is the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown, where we go rafting the Shotover with its 4-5 grade rapids and try canyoning for the first time! And in all that we fit in a trip to the breathtaking Milford Sound, where all the rain just makes it all the more spectacular! 00:20 Aoraki-Mount Cook 00:50 Sealy Tarn Track 02:01 Hooker Track 03:24 Queenstown 03:50 Rafting Shotover River 05:33 Milford Sound 07:00 Canyoning ----- The Music is all either NZ artists or has some association with NZ: “Slice of Heaven” by Dave Dobbyn & Herbs , From the film Footrot Flats - NZ Film & Artists ???Many Meetings” by Howard Shore , From Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - Filmed in NZ “Six Months in a Leaky Boat” by Split Enz, From the album Time And Tide - NZ Artists (Split Enz was Tim and Neil Finn's first band before they went on to form Crowded House) “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” by Michael Nyman , From the film The Piano - Filmed in NZ “Punching in a Dream” by The Naked and Famous , From the album Passive Me, Aggressive You - NZ Artists
