NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is a land of incredible beauty, covered with mountains, glaciers, beaches, lakes, thermal springs, and volcanoes (it served as the setting for all the Lord of the Rings films, among others). It is perfect for enjoying the outdoors or relaxing in a hot spring!
New Zealand’s two islands have a diverse climate and geography. New Zealand is known for its 9 “great walks“, managed by the Department of Conservation, these walks cover both islands, which take you to lakes, fjords, and beaches. But you can also take short walks or boat rides to explore the fjords, waterfalls, and rocky cliffs at one of New Zealand’s many parks like Fiordland National Park (a World Heritage area). Here, you can explore New Zealand’s most well-known fjord, Milford Sound. You can also play a game of golf overlooking the Kauri Cliffs and the New Zealand countryside or hit the ski slopes along New Zealand’s south island at its many premier resorts.
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush, New Zealand will make your blood pump! You can ski, surf, sky-dive, sail, kayak, bungee-jump (one of the highest in the world), glacier hike, and sky-dive. Then, you can finish-off the day with wine tasting in the Marlborough region and a relaxing soak in one of the many hot springs. Or, you can skip all the active stuff and go straight for the wine tasting and hot springs!
