Among the GoSee TravelSmart members in New Zealand John Humphreys from Fendalton/Christchurch has won the Mokia Island Experience. www.mokoiaisland.co.nz

The sacred island of the Te Arawa people – Mokoia Island, is in the heart of Lake Rotorua and steeped in cultural history.

It is an iconic Rotorua landmark dating back to 1350 AD. Mokoia Island Wai Ora Experiences offers a series of unique visitor experiences on Mokoia Island. The legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai is celebrated in Rotorua city where the City Focus intersection commemorates one of New Zealand's greatest love stories.

A number of endangered species have been introduced to Mokoia Island.

They include the Weka, North Island Robin (Toutouwai), and Saddleback (Tieke).

With Mokoia Island Wai Ora Experiences you could also see native birds such as the Pukeko (swamp hen), Papango (Teal), and Tui.

The Kiwi is the sole survivor of an ancient order of birds including the now extinct Moa. Kiwis also live on Mokoia Island but are naturally shy birds and are usually only active at night.

The Kokako is found nowhere else in the world. Mokoia Island Wai Ora Experiences says the Ultimate Island Experience is over 2 ½ to 3 hours with daily departures: 9:30am, 1pm, and 3pm

Rotorua's newest luxury passenger fast cat – the Wai Ora, cruises to a traditional welcome from the Maori people of Te Arawa. Guides share history and culture with visitors.

Hinemoa's hot pool gives feet a treat while legend of New Zealand's famous 'Forbidden Love Story’, the Maoris’ own 'Romeo and Juliet' is related.

Free GoSee TravelSmart membership has many practical benefits. Now a new touring aid has been added. It is a spread-sheet fuel calculator.

The spread-sheet is linked to the popular GoSee Fuel Calculator (just click TravelSmart Good Stuff option on the left of the Home Page).

It is designed to give TravelSmart Club members the ability to use the speadsheet over 10 fills. GoSee believes this gives a better range for a running average of fuel performance.

With a 10 fill spread calculation headwinds, hills, road surface, hot weather, different drivers and varied loads and weights are better covered in producing an actual average outcome.

For the first time on a public website caravan towing weight checks used by professionals are available online in Australia and New Zealand to GoSee TravelSmart Club Members. 

GoSee is unaware of any public online facility in the world which offers this service.

Designers at Canberra based ContACT Internet Solutions, mother company to GoSeeAustralia and GoSee New Zealand, work with towing equipment manufacturing icon Hayman Reese.

They have created a quick-click comparison against tow vehicle model and caravan weight. 

The result is a safe towball load report with links to equipment designed for the long-haul. It's FREE, easy to use and helps anyone towing tour safely.

Free membership of GoSee TravelSmart Club extends the key benefits which clicked the idea of free touring websites to assist travellers in Australia and New Zealand and the caravanning industry into action more than four years ago.
