Wow! What an amazing country. Each of the New Zealand regions has something special to offer visitors.
There are 25 geographical New Zealand regions, each with distinct physical attributes, diverse culture and history, and unique points of interest. From the sub-tropical Northland , where you can stand on the tip of the North Island to witness the merging of two oceans, to the deep south of Southland , the last landmass before the ice shelves of Antarctica, each region has its own special character and attractions for those lucky enough to visit. There are very few places on earth that can match New Zealand's amazing range of natural features. Towering alps, including Mt Cook sub tropical rain forests, beautiful rolling pastures, rugged coastlines featuring white and black sand beaches. Geysers and mud pools, huge accessible glaciers, crystal clear bays, wonderful lakes and stunning fiords. New Zealand has it all. And the contrast between the North and South Islands is amazing. On the North Island you will find stunning beaches, coves and inlets, active volcanoes, and steaming thermal areas, such as Rotorua. In the South Island, the snow covered alps, huge glaciers, and deep dark fiords will take your breath away with their beauty. Location, climate, culture and society have shaped each New Zealand region into the destination it is today. No two are the same, and each is equally worthy of further investigation. New Zealand has so much to offer visitors, and it doesn't matter if you want a relaxed holiday, an extreme adventure, or a bit of both, New Zealand has something for everyone. When planning your trip to New Zealand, please take some time to review the information on this site, and plan your trip to maximise your available time. As a general guide, we recommend a minimum 10-12 days per island (more if you have the time). This will allow you time to travel the full length of each island, and to see the major tourist areas. To save time, we recommend planning your trip so that you don't back track, and this should be possible with carefull planning. We hope that you enjoy the information on our site.
