About New Zealand

New Zealand is a country of spectacular landscapes, cosmopolitan cities, a unique collection of wildlife and nature found nowhere else on earth and virtually unlimited adventure. Regularly voted the most beautiful country in the world, this South Pacific island nation is often described as a world in itself. Its two main islands span over 1000 miles and take in all climates from the sub-tropical temperate north to the sub-Antarctic alpine south.

From whale watching in Kaikoura to heli-hiking Fox Glacier, enjoying an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound or and hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, New Zealand was seemingly purpose-built for outdoor adventure offering a plethora of experiences and always in stunning surrounds.
