New Zealand
New Zealand, consisting of two main islands 1000 miles in length, lies in the South Pacific and is one of the world’s least crowded countries, a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and adventurers. Its awesome landscapes of vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests teeming with an amazing wildlife plus its pleasant climate make it a haven for many outdoor activities. The diversity of New Zealand’s two main islands comes from its unique origin. The thermal North Island offers volcanoes, hot springs, geysers and bubbling mud pools. Geo-thermal energy is produced in this region. The South Island offers spectacular glacial scenery, the Southern Alps, fjords and lakes.
While New Zealand is a relatively young country, it has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting both the Maori and European heritage. Amazing Maori historic sites and taonga (treasures), some dating back almost a thousand years, are a contrast to many beautiful colonial buildings. New Zealand society is also diverse, sophisticated, and multicultural, and the honesty, friendliness, and openness of Kiwis will impress you.
