A country of rare seismic beauty, New Zealand has a truly diverse landscape with glacial mountains, fast flowing rivers, deep clear lakes, abundant natural forests with a variety of endemic fauna such as the Kiwi, long deserted beaches and active volcanic features such as geysers and boiling mud.
You are never far from the ocean in New Zealand and the varied coastline offers endless opportunities for sailing and water based activities while inland too caters for the sporting and the adventuresome with diverse activities such as skiing, white water rafting or tramping (hiking) through the largely unspoilt landscapes.
