About New Zealand - New Zealand travel planner
New Zealand is famous for its awe-inspiring beauty and breathtaking scenery.
Our diverse and dramatic landscapes form the background for sophisticated and
energetic cosmopolitan cities that each has a unique sense of culture and
history. Beyond these cities you will discover small towns that will surprise
you with their charm and limitless vacation activities. Find a spa tucked away
in an alpine village or stroll through a private vineyard before enjoying
cuisines that have found their way to New Zealand from every corner of the
globe. The North Island offers subtropical forests, thermal geysers and
golden beaches, while in the South Island you will find mountainous
peaks, majestic fiords, ancient glaciers and tranquil countryside. Our people
are renowned for their genuine warmth and friendliness. Give your clients the
opportunity to sample this by booking a New Zealand family homestay or
farmstay. No other country in the world has so much to see - so much to do -
all in such a small area. Our clean, green environment is an outdoor activity
paradise, from bush treks and whale watching to cycle touring and bungy
jumping. Whether you explore by car, four-wheel drive, coach or boat;
uncommonly beautiful places can be discovered in every region of the country
Follow your heart, and keep your camera loaded. It's all here waiting for you!
New Zealand has a mild, temperate climate making it, like Australia, a
year-round destination.
New Zealand's South Island New Zealand travel plannerhas some of the
most impressive scenery in the world. This is the landscape that inspired Sir
Edmund Hilary; it is where Mt Cook, the country's highest peak, can be found.
Let's walk tracks carved by the ancient glaciers that formed magnificent
Milford Sound and striking Franz Josef, and explore the beautiful towns of
Christchurch and Dunedin.
The North Island is the dramatic result of thousands of years of
volcanic activity that is still very evident today. The beautiful harbourside
city of Auckland and the sophisticated capital of Wellington are separated by
slumbering volcanic mountains, steaming thermal geysers, and refreshing clear
lakes. Join us as we listen to ancient Maori legends and discover bubbling
geothermal springs. The Bay of Islands is New Zealand's gateway to the South
Pacific. It was here that intrepid Polynesian navigators rested, where
adventurous European sailors explored, and where powerful Maori warriors came
to make a new beginning. Today this area is home to the country's most famous
maritime national park - with its abundance of dolphins, whales, fishes and
birdlife. Come with us and take the opportunity to go sailing these waters in
search of marine life, or just relax and enjoy the spectacular ocean views. We
recognise that each traveller has specific interests and requirements; that
each person has their own individual 'wants' that will make their holiday all
the more memorable.

year-round destination. Our temperatures range from 40° - 60°F during
winter (June to August) and from 60° - 85°F during summer (December

snow on the mountains in winter providing world class skiing.
