New Zealand in review

This may be the only country on earth in which you can walk from a glacier to a rainforest. One thing is for certain, New Zealand's natural landscape is amazingly diverse and majestically beautiful. Indeed, over 10 per cent is World Heritage listed.

The North Island is home to active volcanoes, the geysers and boiling mud of Rotorua, and massive crater lakes such as the trout-filled Lake Taupo.

The South Island is blessed with the golden beaches of Abel Tasman National Park, the mountains and glacial lakes of Fiordland and the famous Milford Sound, where the rainforest carpets the canyons.

The land today is as mystical as the stories of its origin told by the Polynesian settlers of 700 years ago. New Zealand's hotels are waiting to play host to those willing to embark on an epic journey.
