Exploring New Zealand



So you’ve heard other people talking about New Zealand - how green it is, how much fun they had, how beautiful the scenery is… isn’t it time you came a had a look for yourself?

Come backpacking and see more of the “real” New Zealand. Take your time to explore the places that are a bit “off the beaten track”. We know you’ll get so much more out of it!

Things to Do
Want an adrenalin rush? In almost every part of New Zealand you’ll find opportunities to take part in adventure sports and activities. Jetboating, kayaking, caving, bungy, scuba diving - there’s an amazing variety of activities on offer.

Want to shop? Our main centres offer premium shopping, while in smaller cities and towns you will find exciting local goods that you won’t get anywhere else. New Zealand has a fantastic Arts & Crafts community, a vibrant Fashion Design industry and of course there’s often a strong Pacific flavour to what’s on offer.

Want a cultural experience? If you’re only staying for a short time, you’ll want to check out one of the many cultural attractions, or even book a stay on a marae. If you plan on a long visit, why not find a little town and get to know the locals?

Want to party? With bars and clubs open until late at night, and a great live music scene, you can rock away till all hours in most parts of the country.

Want to chill? If you’ve come here for peace and tranquility, you’ll find the perfect place to get the peace and quiet you seek. Perhaps you’ll visit one of the many beautiful beaches on our long coastline, staying for a few days before moving on to a country retreat or even taking a hike in one of our National Parks.

Whatever you choose to do, it will have that distinct “Kiwi” flavour – you’ll take home memories to last a lifetime.

Scenery
We have the most beautiful scenery - and it’s so varied, from the subtropical beaches of the far north to bush-clad Stewart Island in the far south, and everything in between. Volcanoes, active and extinct, rain forests with birds and plant life known nowhere else in the world, snowy mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye can see, windswept rocky shores and sandy swimming beaches, beautiful tranquil harbours and startlingly blue ice-fed braided rivers - the list goes on and on. And it’s all so easy to get to! Just hop on a bus or hire or buy a car or camper, and you can find amazing things to see and do within an hours’ drive of practically anywhere.
