Experience the awe-inspiring natural beauty of New Zealand’s unforgettable landscapes, and thrill at the chance to encounter an amazing array of unique wildlife up close in their natural environments.

Over thirty percent of the country is preserved in a system of National Parks, providing ample opportunity for you to lace up your hiking boots and walk amongst some of the finest landscapes in the world. ‘Tramping’ in Tongariro National Park is an experience you’ll remember forever as you walk in the shadows of its famous trio of volcanic mountains.

The most widely known hiking trails in New Zealand are known as the Great Walks. Administered and protected by the Department of Conservation, these trails and their facilities are maintained to a high standard and represent some of the most unforgettable hikes you’ll ever experience as you find yourself deep within the stunning and wild New Zealand natural environment, listening to the call of natives birds or hearing the waves crash on the coastline.

For a more educationally fulfilling experience, consider booking an eco-tour. Not only do you get to experience New Zealand’s natural rugged beauty up close, but you also have the benefit of an experienced guide to tell you about the native flora and fauna of the area. Eco-tours can range from guided four-wheel-drive trips to sea kayaking around New Zealand’s beautiful coastline or even horse trekking on a rugged mountain track.

No trip to New Zealand is complete without coming face-to-face with the country’s amazing wildlife. Because the country has been geographically isolated from the rest of the world for millennia, New Zealand has an incredible range of unique birds and animals waiting to be discovered, from the ancient lizard-like Tuatara to the cheeky Kea or ‘alpine parrot, to the famous little nocturnal flightless brown bird that lends its name to New Zealanders everywhere – the Kiwi.

Take advantage of the chance to encounter New Zealand’s animal populations in their natural environments. Feel the rush of swimming in the open water with a pod of dolphins playing around you, hold your breath and feel the hush as you go night-time Kiwi-spotting on a remote beach, or feel your eyes light up as you see countless glow worms in an underground cave light up like starts in the night sky.
