Welcome to the land of the long white cloud – from buzzing metropolises to breath-taking landscapes, New Zealand is a land of dreams at the end of the world.

New Zealand showcases nature at its very best, living up to the promise of a country where you can surf, sunbathe and ski all in one day.

For such a relatively small country, the variety of landscapes in New Zealand can appear wonderfully dramatic. The beautiful, windswept peninsula of Cape Reinga at the furthest tip of the North Island, which the Maori call ‘the leaping place of the spirits’ is in stark contrast to the rugged unpredictability of tiny Stewart Island (1,746 sq km), 30km south across the Foveaux Strait, home to Antarctic winds, dense coastal rainforest and the Stewart Island tokoeka, a rare species of kiwi, New Zealand’s native bird.
