NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand

New Zealand is a country renowned for its utterly jaw-dropping scenery, and quite rightly so. It is more than possible to spend a couple of weeks here soaking up all the amazing vistas but you will also find so much more to enjoy too.

Hike the unimaginably stunning Milford Track, climb the icy Franz Josef Glacier, canoe through azure lakes and stunning fjords, bathe in Rotorua’s healing natural mud baths, swim with wild dolphins, and soak in the majesty of the islands’ unrivalled scenery from sea whilst whale watching.

And that is all before getting stuck into Queenstown’s famously adrenalin-fuelled fun, Wellington’s charm and, of course, more of those famous Antipodean vineyards.

New Zealand’s North Island offers island sanctuaries and buzzing cities with lots of culture and history thrown in. Journey through stunning landscapes that blend into magnificent coasts and beaches, sprawling farmlands, and epic geothermal wonders. The Maori culture is rich in many parts of the North Island and well worth discovering.

In the South Island, the purest natural experiences await you. From wildlife to wineries, glacial valleys to star-filled skies, the South Island offers so much for the intrepid traveller who has adventure at heart. No matter which destinations you choose to explore on the long, mountainous South Island, you will always be in awe of its incredible scenery, all of which will live long in your memory.
