New Zealand is very accessible with modern and efficient transport, quiet roads, plenty of flights and some of the world's most beautiful scenic rail journeys. The scenery is stunning with craggy coastlines, sweeping golden beaches, verdant forests, snow-capped alpine mountains, gurgling volcanic pools, fish-filled rivers and glacier-fed lakes, all beneath a brilliant blue sky. 

A truly natural experience
The plant and animal life are unmatched, giving opportunities for close-up experiences with birdlife (including kiwis), seals, dolphins and whales. For the energetic there is bungee jumping, caving or whitewater rafting: you can ski or snowboard on world-class slopes, scuba dive in unique marine reserves, sail on exciting waters or play golf on tournament-class courses. Not to forget the cities of Auckland and the capital Wellington: both different in character, but both offering culture in the museums and galleries, world-class restaurants and hotels, and a clean safe environment.

A tapestry of thriving cities
North Island is a tapestry of thriving cities and rich natural scenery from the Bay of Islands to the beaches and rainforest of the Coromandel Peninsula, the pasturelands of Waikato and the thermal springs of Rotorua. Enjoy the National Parks of Tongariro and Egmont and their spectacular landscapes, including the caves of Waitomo, Lake Taupo and the snow-capped Mount Taranaki. On its southern tip lies New Zealand's beautiful capital Wellington.
