More About New Zealand

In New Zealand, you can be assured you’ll receive a warm welcome from the ‘Kiwis’. We recommend you visit both the North Island and the South Island as they are so diverse. With excellent flight options from the UK, New Zealand has never seemed closer and is fast becoming a popular destination for family holidays. Thanks to the Lord of the Rings, teenagers in particular will be fascinated to discover the magical land of Hobbiton! With miles of untouched beaches and coastline, it really is one of the best destinations to satisfy the whole family and one which lends itself well to a self-drive holiday so you‘re free to stop and start along the way as you wish. The South Island has some of the world's most stunning scenery including Mount Cook and Milford Sound. It's also home to an amazing amount of wildlife making it a perfect place for a spot of whale and dolphin watching. The North Island has beaches, the Tongariro National Park and the cafe culture of Wellington. You will also find sweeping mountains, steaming geysers and Auckland, “the city of sails”.There's so much you can do here...guided cycling tours, take the wine trail, see the local wildlife with a spot of bird, dolphin or whale watching, explore the fabulous national parks, play a leisurely round at one of the stunning golf courses or embrace your inner daredevil and try bungee jumping, jet boating, canyoning or even skydiving!
