It's more than just the breath-taking scenery - New Zealand is a magical place to visit and visitors will be attracted to the laid back friendly atmosphere they will find there...remember "Kiwi's love to keep things casual".

New Zealand is comprised mainly of two islands - the North Island and the South Island - with scenery that is incredibly diverse from one end to the other. Those of you who have seen the famous "Lord of the Rings" trilogy are aware of just how stunning this small country is - surrounded by beautiful beaches, and home to majestic mountains and enchanted forests...it truly is absolute bliss to travel there!

If you are adventurous - New Zealand has activities galore including bungy jumping, sky-diving, caving, river rafting, jet boat racing, zip-lining, canoeing, & kayaking - just to name a few! If you enjoy fishing or golf - New Zealand is world renowned for both.
