Day 1: Ben arrives in Nelson Harbour at the top end of New Zealand's South Island, where he discovers it's all plain sailing.
Ben Fogle spent nine days exploring New Zealand, recording his experiences, the scenery and those he met along the way in his video Diary.
On a quest to discover the real ‘Kiwi experience’, his journey took him through much New Zealand’s great outdoors, from the high snow-covered mountains, to gushing rivers, to its deep impenetrable bush.

Ben arrives in Nelson Harbour and sails the coast in a chartered yacht. He finds out that while the wind in his hair is relaxing, the winching of the mainsail is not. However, there’s a old lighthouse across the bay that makes the whole journey worthwhile.
