Question

Does it always rain here in New Zealand? Anything fun to do here?

Answer 1

KY luging is the latest rage.  Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties with KY bungee jumping.  Seems the harness kept slipping off.  

And yes it always rains here.  But it's ok, because KY is water soluble.

Answer 2

I like to frolic about to and fro in the rain. Water cleanses you know washes away dirt makes things new

Answer 3

I think you their in the spring rain season.   Put you slicker on and go and make friend.  You ae not going to have fun till you meet people and be friendly..  Read a book about NZ is very eco tuned..

Answer 4

nope

Answer 5

No, it does not rain all the time, of course it is winter now so that is perhaps why.  As for things to do, it depends on what you like, they have everything from Clubs, Maori cultural events to skiing (depending on the time of year) available.  If you want sun then Nelson is always a nice place to visit.  There are lots of interesting tours and other things to do there.  White water rafting is always fun and they have several good rivers for all levels of interest.

If you are planning on going and just wondering about rain remember that the seasons are reversed between the North and South Hemispheres.  Not sure where you are from but that is something to think about if you are from Canada or the US.  I have generally travelled there in the late spring and found lots to do and pretty decent weather most of the time.

Some of the things I have done there:

White Water Rafting

Milford Sound Cruise

Maori Culture

Horse Riding

Jet Boating

Helicopter & Plane sightseeing

Hiking

and, of course, a number of sightseeing trips by bus or foot

There are, of course several museums which are quite interesting and numerous other activities.  There is lots to do there, it all depends on your interests.

Answer 6

Skeet shooting

Answer 7

I would suggest a rousing game of mailbox baseball or a good old fashioned snipe hunt.  Course you could always just get drunk and act an ***, that's my favorite hobby!
