And of course New Zealand is home to all things Hobbit, as it was the locale for the filming of the Lord of the Rings movies and the film sets are open for tours. Want to be an honorary Kiwi – as New Zealanders are nicknamed – for a day? Take in the powerful play of a Rugby Union game or line up railside at a local racetrack.
Like most visitors to New Zealand, chances are you’ll be intrigued by the indigenous Maori culture, reflected in everyday life in art, music, crafts and food.
Your Discover South Pacific Specialist can help you decide what is the best way for you to visit New Zealand. Many travellers find an escorted motorcoach tour is a hassle-free and sociable way to tour. Or, if you are fine with driving on the other side of the road, we’re happy to craft a self-drive vacation to take in the very best of both islands, perhaps with a farm stay for a taste of true Kiwi hospitality. Stay in a rustic lodge or boutique hotel; or experience New Zealand from a whole different perspective by cruising around it!
Above all, be prepared for the warm welcome and relaxed lifestyle that charms every visitor to this much-loved country, almost at the end of the world.
