New Zealand

The South Pacific island nation of New Zealand is often described as a world in itself. Its two main islands span over 1000 miles and take in all climates from the sub-tropical temperate north to the sub-Antarctic alpine south.

Among its incredibly varied landscapes you will find lofty snow-capped mountains, picturesque lakes, fast flowing rivers, rolling farmlands, steaming geothermal fields and lunar-like volcanic deserts. Mile upon mile of unspoiled coast comprises rugged cliffs, rocky headlands, soft sand beaches, sheltered bays and idyllic coves.

Just about everywhere you go in New Zealand, you will be surprised and delighted by what you find – and it’s not just about nature. The cities are modern and are brimming with culture and excitement; the people are friendly and welcoming and the country is easy and safe to travel around, even for the single traveller.
