Destination New Zealand
If you’re seeking heart-stopping adventures, you’ll find them in New Zealand. If you’re seeking a tranquil holiday surrounded by spectacular scenery, you’ll find it here too!
Adventures
Adventure is taken seriously in New Zealand. Tackle the alpine ski runs at Queenstown, take a hair-raising jet boat ride on the Shotover, nail a monster wave at the Mount, ride a ‘blokart’ at Tauranga, or skim low above the mountains on a helicopter bound for the Sounds. You’ll know you’re alive!
Relaxing
After a big day of action, soak away the aches with a swim in the surf at Waihi Beach, soak in a natural spring or a hot tub at Te Anau. Time for a spot of retail therapy, a visit to a cinema or museum, or head for a pub or bar and meet the locals.
Gourmet delights
Sample a hangi (Maori feast steamed in an underground pit) and finish off with a hokey pokey ice cream. Dine out at a glitzy restaurant or visit the local chippy for some of the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted. New Zealand’s sauvignon blancs are famous, but try a pinot noir or branch out into a feijoa wine.
