More destinations to discover
North or South Island, east or west coast, New Zealand is blessed with great natural beauty. Hire a campervan and hit the road, take a tour, or pull on a pair of skis or hiking boots and go exploring.
Wellington
It might be the nation’s capital, but don’t let that put you off. The residents of Wellington know how to enjoy themselves. They live to eat, there is a packed events itinerary, especially around fashion and sport, and a robust arts scene. This hilly harbour town has some impressive buildings, most notably Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand.
Queenstown
This is the undisputed adrenalin capital of the world, plus one of the most beautiful spots you could ever envisage. In winter, the Remarkables and Coronet Peak are magnets that draw skiers from around the world. In summer, there’s bungy jumping, zip lining, white-water rafting, jetboating, parasailing and hiking. But it’s party time all year round.
Bay of Islands
In a word: Paradise. Lots of places claim just that, but the Bay of Islands delivers. Located in the sub-tropical far north of the North Island, the weather year round is near perfect. The scenery – the bay and its 144 islands – is always perfect. Little wonder it’s New Zealand’s favourite seaside destination.
