North to south

New Zealand – the last country in the world to be ‘discovered’ by Europeans; the largest Pacific island, and a land isolated and adrift from the rest of the world for millions of years. A country of stunning and diverse natural beauty including jagged mountains, steep fiords, pristine lakes, raging rivers, peaceful farmland, scenic beaches, and active volcanic features. From the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island, New Zealand presents an ever-changing spectacle of unique and differing shades, colours, flora and fauna. Offering an adventure twist to nature it is the home of activities ranging from jet boating through shallow gorges and bungy jumping off anything high enough to give a thrill, to skiing, tramping and fishing!

From sub-tropical Northland with its beautiful remote beaches and ancient Kauri forests, through the central volcanic plateau with lakes and mountains contrasting with the lushness of sunny Hawkes Bay’s orchards and award-winning vineyards.
