For a journey of a lifetime- New Zealand has it all!
New Zealand consists of two islands, with the North Island being renowned for the unique volcanic plateau at its centre. This ring of fire is home to active volcanoes like Ruapehu, Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, Mount Tarawera, and White Island.
The capital Wellington has a wealth of theatre, music and art and the country's largest city Auckland is cosmopolitan and known for its stunning harbours and vibrant Pacific culture. In the far north you will find the Bay of Islands famous for its heritage and scenery.
The South Island is best known around the world for its natural beauty, boasting no less than ten national parks. These majestic wilderness areas incorporate World Heritage Sites, fiords and glaciers, lakes, ski areas, rugged coastline, native forest, and world-class hiking tracks.
The Southern Alps, an impressive mountain chain, runs down the South Island's spine. The largest city 'down south' is Christchurch, best known for its parks and old English character.
