The New Waitomo Experience
Waitomo has long been the country’s underground showpiece, and most visitors still drift beneath the glow then head for the car park with dry socks. The Waitomo Experience offers a different way to meet the cave, a small crew journey that swaps queues for connection and lets Ōkohua Glowworm Cave be the star rather than the set.
You check in on private farmland at Tumu Tumu Station, ten minutes from the village, meet your guide and a handful of fellow travellers, then set out for three hours door to door with two to three of that underground. The brief is simple and unhurried, enough time to settle in and let the place work on you.

Bridge Jump Goes Wrong: Idiot Collides with Kayakers
What began as a stunt turned into an unexpected collision when a bridge jumper landed directly on top of unsuspecting kayakers in Orlando, Florida.
On August 3rd, a daredevil leaped from a bridge, confident that the waters below were clear for his dramatic plunge. However, in a twist of unfortunate timing, a group of kayakers had quietly paddled into the exact spot where he planned to land.
It is not like the kayak is hard to see!
The collision sent everyone tumbling into the water in a chaotic tangle of limbs, paddles, and overturned watercraft. What should have been a smooth entry became an inadvertent human bowling strike, with the kayakers as unwitting pins.

Now a12-year-old, living in paradise, and the waves you can literally see from your bedroom window happen to be some of the most terrifying on Earth. For most kids, that would be a reason to stay on dry land. For Kelia Mehani Gallina, it became her training ground for making surfing history.

Jones moves to greenlight ocean destruction through reforms
Greenpeace says moves to weaken ocean protection through dodgy fisheries “reforms” will be met with strong opposition, as Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones announces he wants to proceed with a raft of proposed changes to fisheries laws.

The controversial changes are some of the largest in decades, and would restrict public access to cameras on boats footage, remove the requirement for fishers to land all their catch, and stop legal challenges to catch limits that have been successful in protecting species in recent years.

The reforms will also give the Minister the ability to set catch limits for five years,

Greenpeace oceans campaigner Ellie Hooper says these proposals give the industry carte blanche on ocean destruction, weaken transparency and block the public from having input into fisheries decisions.
