Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, set between two sparkling harbours, one with pohutukawa lined sandy beaches, teeming with boating activity and the other with wildly rugged black sand beaches and pounding surf. The sea and all its attractions are why Auckland is known as the City of Sails. Rotorua is like nowhere else with its geysers of hissing, steaming water roaring from deep within the earth’s crust and its pools of bubbling mud. Feel the spirit of the earth, as it rumbles beneath your feet and escapes, hissing, through fumaroles and geysers. Witness the spirit of Maori culture, with authentic village and performance experiences. Rejuvenate your spirit in a natural hot spring or with a relaxing massage. Milford Sound is the most well-known and most accessible of all the fiords in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, a World Heritage Area. In Milford Sound you’ll see towering cliffs and peaks – including the much photographed and iconic Mitre Peak that rises more than a kilometre straight out of the sea. Waterfalls cascade into the fiord and luxuriant rain forest clings to sheer rock faces in this breathtaking place.
