Discover Spectacular Landscapes
From amazing active volcanoes like White Island to dramatic alpine mountains in the South. Deep fiords of Milford and Doubtful Sound to gorgeous coasts, high waterfalls located on the North Island such as Rainbow Falls and Whangarai Falls and lush green forests. New Zealand has such a diverse and contrasting landscape in a relatively small area that you will be spoilt for choice. The country’s striking landscapes have enticed filmmakers and nature lovers alike to cherish its unspoiled horizons.
Discover Spectacular Wildlife and Adventure
Unique wildlife and adventure experiences are two of New Zealand’s biggest draws. From swimming with dolphins in Kaikoura to whale watching in Auckland, marvel at glimmering glowworms in Waitomo caves or see endangered, yellow-eyed penguins in Dunedin. New Zealand is home to many species of wildlife that call the Land of the Long White Cloud home. There are few places in the world where you can experience mountain vistas whilst bungee jumping and stunning coastline whilst kayaking. Canoe, climb, skydive or heli-ski, New Zealand has it all.
Discover Spectacular Culture
Māori culture is an integral part of life in New Zealand, arriving from the Polynesian homeland of Hawaiki over 1000 years ago, the great explorer Kupe, was the first Māori to reach these lands. Northland, situated at the North tip of the North Island is known as “the birthplace of New Zealand”, offering fascinating cultural experiences and is home to the world’s largest Kauri Tree. Learn about the Treaty of Waitangi at the Bay of Islands, be the first in the world to see the sunrise at Te Takapau-o-Maui or paddle a waka (canoe) to Split Apple Rock in Abel Tasman National Park.
Discover Spectacular Wine Regions
From silky pinot noir to crisp sauvignon blanc, New Zealand vineyards are amongst the best in the world. The most famous wineries in the North Island are found on Waiheke Island, in the Hawke's Bay and in Martinborough in the Wairarapa. The South Island is brimming with outstanding wine varieties and picturesque vineyards. Visit Nelson, the Waipara Valley, Central Otago or the Gibbston area to discover world-class wines. Explore the wine regions on a self-drive holiday, visit cellar doors and savour delicious food at iconic wineries.
