New Zealand holidays
There has never been a better time to visit New Zealand, a diverse, fantasy land of dramatic mountains and forested valleys, majestic icefloes and glacial lakes, dormant volcanoes and bubbling springs. Doubling for Middle Earth in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the magical world beyond the wardrobe in the Chronicles of Narnia, New Zealand is also proving itself one of the undoubted stars of the screen.
New Zealand highlights
- The cities - Auckland, the attractive 'City of Sails', Wellington, the windy capital city of many attractions, including cable cars and botanical gardens, and lovely Christchurch, more 'English' than most of England, but 12,000 miles away!
- The breathtaking fjords of Milford Sound and the Marlborough Sounds.
- The stunning Bay of Islands for its fascinating Maori history and friendly dolphins.
- Mineral lakes the colour of opal and pearl, sulphur pools and 20m geysers in Rotorua.
- Spectacular Franz Josef and Fox glaciers - hike them or fly to the top by helicopter.
- In the heart of the Southern Alps, the resort of Queenstown, undisputed world capital of thrilling adventure activities.
