    Depends where you live, but we did our entire trip for about $700 (ish) all up per person.

    -Flights from AKL to QTN rtn about $260
    -Car park at airport about $35 for 10 days
    -Bus QTN to Te Anau rtn about $70
    -We scored a ride to Te Anau downs the next day for free, but this would be another $50 rtn
    -Night at Motor Inn about $40
    -Food about $200
    -Boat ride rtn to/from Wapiti block about $150

    $35.00 for 10 days car parking? Clearly not Auckland KJ otherwise it would be $350.00
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Park N Fly - just off Sir William Pickering drive Rushy, only 3 to 5 dollars a day. They run you to the airport in a mini van.

    Vern Thompson. Roughly worked out at $600 return/split 5 ways. The heli would have cost $2500/split 5 ways. We only had 5 people between the two parties in the block, as one dropped out.
