NEW ZEALAND
Kia Ora! Welcome to the youngest country on Earth! Multi-cultural, diverse, stunning, pristine, and young, these are the exact words used to describe New Zealand. Awesome landscapes, lush forests, amazing wildlife, and a pleasant climate make New Zealand a haven for many outdoor activities and a great place to unwind. New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific Ocean and its nearest neighbour is Australia. It is probably the most isolated country in the world, yet highly developed. A geographical wonder, the country has everything from mountain ranges to beaches, glaciers to subtropical and temperate rainforests, active volcanoes and thermal activity to land that is permanently covered in ice and snow, from tranquil lakes and fjords to thunderous waterfalls and rivers. New Zealand is an island nation made up of two main islands aptly named the North Island and the South Island.
The North Island has a warmer climate and contains the country’s volcanoes and most of the thermal activities such as geysers, thermal rivers, and boiling mud pools. There are many beautiful beaches, especially up north. It is mainly a hilly island with one major chain of mountains that start from the East Cape running down to Wellington. South Island’s terrain is predominantly rugged and wild. South Island offers cruises and thrilling adventures, including the iconic TranzAlpine train journey. And then there are the glaciers and the resort town of Queenstown where any number of days spent are less.
