New Zealand

With two unique islands, 14 national parks, and dozens of diverse cities, New Zealand has everything from a fun backpacker scene to luxury lodges.

Explore golden beaches framed by native pohutakawa trees, hike to hidden waterfalls in beech forests, or bike along softly winding vineyards. Bungy climbing, jet boating, skydiving, and zip lining are only a few of New Zealand's renowned adventure adventures and extreme sports. Alternatively, unwind at luxurious hot springs, cultural centres, and art galleries.
