The best of New Zealand from uncrowded golden sand beaches and deep
fiords to high snow topped mountains. Visit interesting cities and
towns, see lush green pastures, magnificent native rain forest,

Experience the remarkable Maori culture and the legendary friendliness
of the Kiwi people.
From the moment you arrive in Rotorua there is a scent of sulphur
in the air, and at nearby geothermal hotspots there are spouting
geysers, acrid-smelling mud pools bubbling and belching, and warm
geothermal pools and ponds that create a kaleidoscope of colour.
The TranzCoastal is a spectacular journey linking Picton with
Christchurch. As the train heads south it travels through grape
country, plains and river valleys. For over 100 kilometres it runs
along a thin ledge of land pinned between the Pacific Ocean and
the rugged Kaikoura ranges.
Auckland’s lifestyle is intimately tied to the ocean. Every
day yachts stream out of the Waitemata harbour to the gulf beyond.
Fast moving runabouts head for their favourite fishing spots. Ferries
glide past the CBD, on their way to the islands of Rangitoto, Waiheke
and Great Barrier.
