Join host Ian Wright as he journeys through New Zealand, experiencing a diverse spectrum of adventures.
  		  Beginning with a traditional Maori greeting, Ian marvels at Cape Reinga's 90-mile beach and finds a place to dune jump. Hitchhiking onward, he meets Chinese possum eaters in Auckland, beekeepers in Tauranga, partygoers in Wellington for a kiwi-style night on the town.
  		  In Kaikoura, Ian goes whale watching, swims with fur seals, and eats the food the town is named after, crayfish. He finishes his cross-country tour with some extreme sports, and interviews bungyists about New Zealanders' fondness for adrenaline.
