A place where legends and myths mingle with the overwhelming presence of an awe-inspiring landscape of forest and fiords. A dramatic land of rivers, lakes, mountains and forests, carved thousands of years ago as glacial rivers ground valleys through granite mountains.
Thanks to New Zealand's wide variety of landscapes, getting to your destination will be a unique and enjoyable experience. Driving distances are short, with towns and main centres never very far apart. Roads can be windy and may challenge drivers used to driving mainly on multilane motorways.
The 2011 edition of our destination-nz.com Visitor Guide is here! Invaluable to New Zealand travellers, particularly if you are wanting to travel independently and make your own plans.
