About New Zealand
New Zealand offers the tourist everything: from luxury hotels to stylish country lodges and friendly backpackers hostels, scenic self drive itineraries and spectacular train journeys on both the North and the South Islands. For absolute in-your-face phenomena, visit the active volcanic regions and boiling mud of the geothermal areas on the North Island or the icy glaciers on the South Island's West Coast.
One thing that all travellers want to do in New Zealand is walk – through forests, up mountains, along riverbanks and around lakes. Join the locals and go "tramping". Experience some of the most spectacular walks in the world on the Milford or Routeburn tracks, amongst many others on offer.
New Zealand is a country with something to suit every age group and level of activity, from scenic drives, art galleries, cultural attractions, gardens, museums and performing arts, through to jetboating, skydiving, skiing, abseiling, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking and golf. Enjoy some of the world's best wines, and sample gourmet cuisine, New Zealand offers it all and more!
