Overview:
New Zealand is a unique land of
breathtaking scenery as craggy coastlines, golden beaches, lush
rainforests, snow-capped mountains, bubbling volcanic pools,
rivers jumping with rainbow trout, and glacier-fed lakes compete
for attention; a landscape beautifully showcased in the Lord of
the Rings trilogy.
Pair this with a thriving indigenous Maori culture, bustling
cosmopolitan cities, traditional towns and friendly people, and
you have an outstanding and unusual combination. New Zealand is
a world leader in eco tourism, and has developed into one of the
cleanest and greenest countries to visit. Much of the plant and
animal life is varied and unique, including the reclusive kiwi,
fur seals, yellow-eyed penguins, Hooker's sea lions, dolphins
and whales. Add world-renowned wines, wonderful cuisine, strolls
on moody beaches, tramping through national parks and alpine
tracks, bungee jumping, zorbing, caving and white-water rafting,
and you have a wealth of thrilling experiences.
