ABOUT NEW ZEALAND


Known for its incredible landscapes and wild beauty, New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Two main landmasses - North Island and South Island - plus over 700 smaller islands make up this remote nation. New Zealand's stunning, scenic beauty is worth the long flight to get there. Active volcanoes, breathtaking fjords, turquoise glacial lakes, snowcapped mountain peaks, and lush temperate rainforests guarantee a spectacular diversity of scenery and activities when you visit New Zealand.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the hiking, rafting, camping, as well as other adventure sports available. And if that isn't for you, then perhaps the exploring New Zealand's wine regions and craft beer scene might entice you instead.
