Maybe you’ve read about it. Maybe you’ve been told about the beauty of it. You might have even seen images of its breathtaking scenery… New Zealand, or Aotearoa, as it is called in the Maori language, will enchant you even before you step foot there. New Zealand is an island country made up of two main islands (the North Island and the South Island), located in the South-West Pacific Ocean. It is also made up of around 600 additional smaller islands. In total, the country stretches over approximately 1,600km (1,000 miles) from North to South. In Land area, it is actually larger than the United Kingdom, but with only about four million inhabitants, there’s plenty of wide-open space for visitors to explore. While New Zealand may look like it’s very far away from most other countries on the world map, it’s really just one flight away from many of the world’s major cities. As soon as you arrive, you’ll find a beautiful nation, full of beautiful scenery and people, offering the facilities you’re used to at home – in a landscape that’s out of this world! Similar to most other developed nations, the majority of people live in the main cities of New Zealand, so there are vast areas which are sparsely populated. In New Zealand, it’s very simple to get away from the madding crowd! Located near the top of the North Island, Auckland is the city with the largest population in New Zealand. It is also the most easily accessible city in the country, with easy ways of getting there by all modes of transport. It is also considered a global city, with easy access to key international markets, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Auckland also has many tourist attractions which are relatively close to the modern Central Business District (CBD) area. The climate in Auckland is fairly moderate too and is considered one of the cities in New Zealand with the most sunny days per year. A scenic and cosmopolitan destination, the areas around the city of Auckland area perfect for exploring mountains, coastlines and cultural sites. Auckland is home to about a third of the New Zealand’s total population and is ranked as the fourth most diverse city in the world, with over 200 different ethnic communities which call the city home. Approximately one third of all people living in Auckland were born not only not in the city, but actually overseas. The majority of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori population lives in Auckland, and it is also officially the world’s largest Polynesian city. The South Island has a lower population density than the North Island and it is generally agreed that the scenery on this island is far better than on the other one. Some say it is some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. In general terms, New Zealand has some outstanding scenery, a unique culture, delicious wine and food, and many thrilling activities that make the country a world-renowned adventure playground. There are stunning glaciers and fiords of the South Island’s West Coast and incredible volcanoes can be found on the Central Plateau, as well as beautiful beaches, crystalline glacial lakes and stunning scenery which has been showcased in numerous Hollywood films, the most famous of which was the Lord of the Rings saga. Renowned for its extreme sports and adventure activities, New Zealand has many luxurious wilderness retreats where you can relax after a long day and enjoy some delightful cuisine. It is also a destination travelers seek out for its rich Maori culture and the down-to-earth friendliness of its many people. In New Zealand, visitors have the chance to interact with unique wildlife that exists nowhere else on earth, including strange species such as snow dwelling parrots and the kiwi bird. In New Zealand you can access an incredibly vast range of adventure activities…from skiing, hiking and white-water rafting to taking a ride in a hot air balloon, bungee jumping and skydiving. While the weather in New Zealand is generally quite moderate, as it does not usually suffer major climate extremes, it can be changeable, so pack layers and a raincoat. Seasons are the opposite as those of the Northern Hemisphere. Spring through to Autumn is the best time to visit, with peak season being from mid-December to early February.
