Introduction

W Z E A L A N D |
| A country at the bottom of the world,
the last place God made and he saved up the best for the last. 2500km away from the
closest country, New Zealand lies hidden in misty solitude. Kupe - the first explorer to
land on its shores named it ‘Aotearoa’- Land of the Long White Cloud.
New Zealand is one of the most awe-inspiring places on earth. It has everything an
exotic holiday destination should have. |
 |
| Mist covered volcanoes
simmering in dormant discontent, sandy beaches and clear blue seas teeming with fish, snow
capped mountains and ski slopes, fiords, glaciers and geysers, virgin rainforests, unique
flora and fauna, an indigenous (Maori) culture and plenty of oppurtunity for adventure
sports, leisure travel or historical and cultural tours. |

Just when you think you've seen it
all, New Zealand offers more. Inland lakes, fast flowing mountain rivers, orchards and
vineyards, islands, bays, coves, sounds and waterfalls, great food and warm, friendly
people. We'd of course recommend a month's holiday, but even if you stay over for just a
few days, you will return home invigorated, exhilarated and exhausted, yet hungry for
more. Get the hang of their delightful twang, taste |

hospitality, bungee jump or heliski and have the best holiday of yourlifetime.
