Adventure
Where would the world of adventure tourism be
without the bungy jump? New Zealander AJ Hackett mastered the art and
let the world have a go at the Kawarau Bridge Jump, the first commercial
bungy jump operation in the world. Oh, and let’s not forget the jet
boat, ski plane and Zorb.
Culture
Experience the haka, a ceremonial Māori dance made
world famous by the All Blacks rugby team as their pre-game ritual.
Beyond the public sporting display, New Zealand celebrates its Māori
culture in daily life and there are numerous places to experience it.
Wildlife
New Zealand is home to some weird and wonderful
wildlife, including birds that don’t know how to fly, monster marine
mammals and a reptile that’s survived from dinosaur days. Swim with
dolphins, take a whale-watching cruise and get up close to yellow-eyed
penguins.
Scenery
Made up of two main islands and a host of smaller
ones, New Zealand has an amazing range of breathtaking scenery, from
subtropical forests, beaches, and offshore islands in the north to
glaciers, lakes, snow-covered mountains, and large flat plains in the
south.
The People
"Kiwis," as the locals are called, are a
friendly bunch and very welcoming to visitors. A wide range of cultures
is represented here, but New Zealand is an ex-British colony and the
European influence remains strong. There's also a unique accent.
