Overview:
New Zealand is a unique
land of breathtaking scenery. Craggy coastlines, sweeping golden
beaches, verdant rainforests, snow-capped alpine mountains,
gurgling volcanic pools, fuming active volcanoes, flashing
fish-filled rivers and glacier-fed lakes compete for attention,
all beneath a brilliant blue sky. Pair this with a thriving
indigenous culture, bustling cosmopolitan cities, traditional
towns and friendly people with a distinct lust for life and you
have an outstanding and unusual combination.
New Zealand is spread over several small
islands. The more developed North Island is home to the main
cities, whilst the vast empty spaces of South Island are best
for escaping the crowds. Tiny, undeveloped Stewart Island is
reminiscent of how New Zealand must have looked before the
arrival of people.
