Information about New Zealand - Aotearoa

New Zealand is made up of two main islands and numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. Not to forget Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland.

The Auckland city is located on the North Island and the main city in the South Island is Christchurch. Both Islands have lots of vast open spaces and mountainous terrain.

Getting around New Zealand is nice and easy with plenty of modern and efficient transport networks including quiet roads, buses, rental car and campervan options, plenty of flights and gorgeous scenic rail journeys. The unusual plant and animal life offers once in a lifetime opportunities to see kiwis, seals, dolphins and whales to name but a few.

New Zealand is home to the world’s largest flightless parrot (kakapo), the oldest reptile (tuatara), the biggest earthworms, the smallest bats, the heaviest insect (Giant Weta), some of the oldest trees, and many of the rarest birds, insects, and plants in the world.

Enjoy the chance to explore extensive wine regions, taste wonderful cuisine, stroll on sunny beaches, hike through the forests of numerous national parks or over alpine passes on well-maintained, beautifully sited tracks.

New Zealand is also perfect for every kind of outdoor activity. Not surprisingly, some of the world's most cutting-edge adventure activities originated in New Zealand. Try bungee jumping, caving or white-water rafting. Or, immerse yourself in culture in one of numerous museums, galleries, outdoor events and theatre productions.
