New Zealand is a welcoming, diverse country with a history of Māori, European, Pacific Island, and Asian immigration. This rich blend of cultures, combined with geologically fascinating landscapes and unique flora and fauna, makes New Zealand an exciting country to explore.
With two unique islands, 14 national parks, and dozens of diverse cities, there are plenty of New Zealand attractions and activities to choose from during your New Zealand holiday. And New Zealand is a relatively compact country, so you can see most of the country’s highlights in as little as 7-10 days, but of course, to see more and get off the beaten track, you can easily spend 3 weeks of more exploring.
Your gateway to New Zealand is Auckland, a multi-cultural urban oasis of food, music, arts, and culture. It’s where sparkling waters and lush landscapes meet city sophistication. Venture beyond this gateway and you find everything from an untamed wilderness to rich culture; from majestic mountains and mist-cloaked fjords to golden beaches and fruitful vineyards, and even the home of Middle-Earth.
