 New
Zealand is a country of rare beauty: glacial mountains, fast-flowing
rivers, deep lakes, hissing geysers and boiling mud.
The largest city, Auckland, enjoys a diverse culture. Visit its many islands, or simply ascend the Sky Tower and enjoy the great view over the rainforest mountain ranges. Rotorua has a deep sense of history and Maori culture. This combined with a landscape of geysers and bubbling pools of mud, allows you to experience the real heart of New Zealand. |

New Zealand tourist attractionsIn the geological sense, New Zealand has had a colorful past. The ice age carved the exquisite fretwork of Fiordland and the Marlborough Sounds, huge tectonic forces pushed up the Southern Alps and volcanism on a fearsome scale shaped (and continues to shape) much of the North Island. The result of all this action is New Zealand tourist attractions scenery to die for — a landscape jam-packed with interest. more.... |

The country’s capital Wellington is beautifully placed between a magnificent harbour and rolling hills. Everything is within walking distance, from galleries to restaurants. Queenstown is the Adventure Capital of the World. Set amongst the dazzling Southern Alps, for a pure adrenalin rush go bungy jumping, jetboating, skiing or relax with some great regional wine! Christchurch meanwhile is recognized as “the international garden city of the world”. On the east coast of the North Island lies the Bay of Islands. Its natural beauty, beaches and host of islands are not to be missed.
New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific ocean, between latitude 34'S and 47'S. The country runs roughly north-south with mountain ranges down much of its length. Its two main islands cover 266,200 sq km (103,735 sq miles), about the size of Japan or California and slightly larger than Great Britain. Comparable in size and/or shape to Great Britain, Colorado and Japan, New Zealand has a population of only 4 million - making it one of the world's least crowded countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrillseekers and adventurers. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes it a year-round holiday destination. New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. New Zealand's separation from other land masses for more than 100 million years has allowed many ancient plants and animals to survive and evolve in isolation. Complementing our unique flora and fauna is a landscape that contains an unrivalled variety of landforms. In a couple of days' drive it is possible to see everything from mountain ranges to sandy beaches, lush rainforests, glaciers and fiords and active volcanoes. Auckland is the best place to start exploring the North of the country. It's a great city and offers you everything you want. |
