Experience epic New Zealand
Whether your dream is to hike a volcano, tour vineyards on Waiheke Island, unleash your inner wizard in the real Middle-earth, or simply relax by the sea, New Zealand boasts a mesmerizing blend of landscapes to suit every taste, all within easy reach.
Plan your trip based on your appetite (or not) for adventure. Head to the North Island and relax on white sand beaches on the Coromandel Peninsula, peer into Hobbit holes in Matamata or kayak alongside dolphins in the Bay of Islands. Travel to the South Island and whale watch in Kaikoura, cruise the stunning fiords of Milford Sound, or ride in a jet boat through canyons on the Shotover River in Queenstown.
Savor your vacation as you sip world-famous sauvignon blanc among the grapevines, taste juicy Bluff oysters, or feast on a hangi, a traditional Māori meal slow-cooked over hot stones, all accompanied by great conversations with the locals. New Zealanders, also known as Kiwis, love making people feel at home—after a visit, you’re sure to leave feeling like one of the whanau, or family.
