Urupukapuka Island

Urupukapuka Island is the largest island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 7.3 km from Paihia. There are many sandy beaches. The waters around the island are clear and diving is particularly good on the east coast where there is plentiful reef life. Indico and Paradise Bays are popular sheltered anchorages and ideal for most forms of water sports. The bays are also inhabited by a colony of shags, and pohutukawas are abundant along the coastline.

Skiing the Rockies

I was quite impressed with Steve’s patience as I initially didn't have a clear vision on my trip other than I wanted to ski in Alberta. His suggestions made it easier for me to make some decisions.I had a very good trip and meeting up with some former ski buddies with good weather and good snow topped it up. I really appreciate the help Steve offered, his prompt replies to my enquires and overall professionalism getting my trip organized.
