“The landscape changes so drastically from the tip of the New Zealand North Island down to the South Island glaciers. These are some of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes you'll ever see, and you need to see them in three dimensions: from the air, on the ground, and subsurface. Explore by helicopter, cycle, scuba dive, kayak. This is what will give you a truly different perspective on New Zealand.”

"When I visited New Zealand, one of my favourite experiences was joining in a traditional hāngī feast with a Māori tribe. The food is cooked in an earth oven, giving it an incredible smoky aroma and tender texture. It was an amazing chance to participate in what is a celebration of culture, connection, and centuries of tradition. If you're wondering what to do in New Zealand, immersing yourself in the rich Māori culture is a must."

“To really get under the skin of New Zealand, spend two weeks discovering both the North and South Islands. With a helicopter at your disposal, you're in control. For something really unique, head down into the Kawiti Caves where you'll witness thousands of glow worms illuminating a network of underground chambers, while your guide shares insights into this natural phenomenon.”
