In no other country in the world could so many unique scenes be enjoyed within one day. From the sub-tropical and lush bush of Northland, to the beauty of Mitre Peak in Fjordland National Park, once described by Rudyard Kipling as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World'. This country is truly 'God's Own' with a surprise around every corner with its ever-changing contrasts.
New Zealand consists of 2 main islands, each of which offers their own unique attractions.
In the North Island, you'll find Auckland, New Zealand's largest city and major international gateway. From Auckland, you can travel either to the sub tropical north with its golden beaches where you can swim with dolphins and visit magnificent forests of huge kauri and giant ferns or south to the geysers and Maori culture of Rotorua. Past bush fringed lakes and steaming volcanoes; some of the largest planted forests on earth and on to the cosmopolitan capital of Wellington.
Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island, where you can experience the wonder of whale watching, jet boating and river rafting. Walk on glaciers, through natural bush or simply wander some of the most beautiful, rugged tracks on earth. Discover vast beech forests, bungy jump in Queenstown or visit other exciting and interesting places.
