Welcome! Kia Ora!
New Zealand is a wonderland of contrast and variety. Known as Aotearoa (pronounced Aoh-tea-ro-ha) by the very first settlers and translated as ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’. New Zealand has an abundance of picturesque landscapes to offer the most discerning traveller. From snow covered mountain tops to the Fox and Franz glaciers, to golden sands that border clear, shallow, pristine waters, rare seismic beauty, to lively thermal wonderlands and remarkable early Maori historical sites; fish for tuna, marlin, snapper, kahawai, trevally and shark, visit world-class attractions, thrilling hot-air balloon rides, hiking, skiing, picturesque bike trails, white and black water rafting, bunjy jumping, whale and dolphin watching, to bustling cities and delightful country towns.
Due to the stunning landscapes and wild and untamed land, with its giant gum producing kauri, kohekohe forests, rainforests with rimu, matai, rata, beech and tawa, along with the Pohutakawa (the New Zealand Christmas tree) which flowers a brilliant red around December, leads New Zealand to play host to many local and international movie productions. Notably, The Lord of the Rings was filmed at more than 150 locations throughout New Zealand, leading many to call New Zealand ‘one of the wonders of the world, an unparalleled success story’. Visit the sites of The Lord of the Rings (virtually every region of New Zealand is a reminder of this amazing trilogy), The Whale Rider, The Last Samurai, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Chronicles of Narnia and the River Queen by guided tour, or choose to self discover using the many guidebooks available.
