New Zealand is, without doubt one of the most beautiful places in the world. Although it is only relatively small, this trio of islands in the Pacific is filled with dream-like landscapes, promising an experience like never before.

You’ll see wonderful sites all the way from the top of the North Island, to the tiny but spectacular community driven Stewart Island across Foveaux Strait.

The North Island is home to the country’s capital, Wellington, which sits close to Cook Strait, and boasts beautiful beaches, a harbor promenade and many brilliant tourist attractions.

Maori culture is rich across the country, but more so in the North. Immerse yourself in the deep history of this beautiful place at Waitangi Historic Reserve, or the world's tallest Kauri Tree - Tane Mahuta.

Auckland, the biggest city in New Zealand is the perfect destination. The CBD is bustling with great shopping, restaurants, and all the luxuries of big city living, but is just a stepping-stone away from day activities such as rainforest walks, kayaking, canyoning in caves and just about any adventure you can think of!

Relish the North Island’s year round sub-tropical weather and travel to Rotarua, an absolute must see for its stunning volcanic summits, thermal spas, and breathtaking scenery.

Other places of note include the stunning Lake Taupo, Tongariro National Park, Bay of Islands, and picturesque Cathedral Cove, where the waters are crystal clear and you can make your own hot tub in the sand.

Of course, we can’t talk of the North without making mention of Hobbiton, and other locations made famous by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. As soon as you set foot in the dream-like scenery, you’ll understand why New Zealand is the perfect location for such an epic story.

The South Island is just as breathtaking, if not more so. Head to Queenstown for stunning views and heat-stopping adrenaline activities like bungee jumping, jet boating, skiing in the cooler months, and the infamous Shotover Canyon Swing.

Milford Sound is one of the most magical places in the world. Board a boat and cruise out to see the mountains rising from the water. The scenery is amazing in any kind of weather, with countless waterfalls and wonderful views.

If you can brave one of the toughest water-crossings in the world, Stewart Island is definitely worth a visit. Learn all about the importance of community and culture in this close-knit town, walk along the waterfront at sunrise, and get to know the locals in the only pub on the island.

Mt Cook and surrounds look like they’ve been ripped right from a postcard. You cab wake up in the mountains and take a morning walk out to the glaciers. It is also one of the best places in New Zealand for stargazing; enjoy the magical night sky as you learn about all the constellations and planets.

From top to bottom and everywhere in between, New Zealand is an adventurer's dream.
