Wake up in the country down under where you're the first to see the sunrise. New Zealand is a land of historic drama, distinctive culture, and picture-perfect landscapes — the antidote to cure your itchy feet. 

Kiwi Fruit, Kiwi Bird, Kiwi People 

The Kiwi Culture welcomes you with open arms. They're easy-going and friendly, take extreme pride in their country, and take it upon themselves to guide you towards all the beauty and hidden gems New Zealand offers. Feel a part of the people by partaking in The Haka, a Maori war dance performed now at rugby matches and celebrations. Visit the annual Cadbury Chocolate Carnival on the world's steepest street and gorge on giant Jaffa balls, orange-flavored chocolate made in New Zealand. Or feast on traditional fare such as hangi (meat and vegetables cooked in underground ovens), crayfish, and kina (edible sea urchins). 

Deserts to Rainforests

New Zealand is an idyllic destination serving breathtaking views of picturesque landscapes and unique experiences, such as world-class skiing and hiking. Spectacular golden sand beaches, rolling verdant hills, wide-reaching plains, crystalline glaciers, and deep-blue fjords are only a handful of the seemingly boundless untouched scenic spots. It's no wonder the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed here. Don’t worry, cinephiles, you can go on the Hobbiton Movie Set Tours to see the magical mini villages and homes built into the lush, green hills.
