The Diary: Celebs show off their holiday snaps

Ryan Crotty

Ryan Crotty (and his tan lines) took the budgie smuggler to Okiwi Bay in the Marlborough Sounds. He reckons it's standard attire there. But we reckon he'd look more at home saving lives on a surf beach. Preferably ours.

Max Key

Max Key (and his abs) enjoys the first spa of 2015 in Maui "with papa J". We wonder how his old man likes the moniker. The Keys have a $5.6m holiday home in the gated community of Ho'olei, part of the Wailea Beach development.

Dan Carter

Dan Carter takes the selfie to Lake Taupo with this up-close-and-personal snap treading water. Mum Bev, looking a little perplexed, joins the cast of family members captured in the background. Is that preggers Honor in the inflatable?

Laura McGoldrick

Laura McGoldrick is skiing at Aspen, Colorado, where she is celebrating the 40th birthday of her BFF Gretchen Hawkesby. Gretchen's pop, billionaire Graeme Hart, has a lavish chalet in the ski town. Laura took to the slopes of Buttermilk mountain with her brother, Tim, and we're not envious much. Ok, a lot.

Kim Crossman

Kim Crossman has embarked on a year of adventure by slip-and-sliding her way down a 30-metre tarp at Pauanui beach with only hunky Jesse James Cassrels as protection. Is it any wonder she's grinning? She's leaving these shores for the U.S. to embark on more acting gigs. If she's auditioning for action roles she'll at least have the bruises to show she's up for it.

Sam Cane

Sam Cane took the plunge off Charlie's Rock - Kerikeri's iconic swimming hole and waterfall. Although, we hope he landed with his legs together. It could have been painful.

Natalia Kills

Natalia Kills, who's soon to be gracing The X Factor NZ, posted this pic with the immortal words: "Start the year off as you mean to finish it. Horizontal." Only, she's diagonal. With an excess supply of tinfoil, strangely.

Ladi6

Ladi6 is celebrating the hot Kiwi summer with togs, jandals and a good plunge. The water is a tad green for our liking, but what's a bit of algae, eh?

Taika Waititi

Who got a label maker for Christmas? Evidently Taika Waititi. His take on a still life fruit bowl involves tequila, and we like.
