There are spectacular thermal geysers, boiling mud pools and rumbling live volcanoes. By contrast, you will discover breathtaking sights of mighty glaciers, jewel-like lakes of tranquil beauty, rolling bush clad hills, lush green pastures as well as flora and fauna unique to this part of the world.

The ocean that surrounds New Zealand has been generous too, providing great sweeps of gentle golden beaches, wild and spectacular rocky headlands, dramatic fjords and a host of enchanting off-shore islands to explore.
