Destination: New Zealand (Aotearoa)

[Back to Eco Tours]

 
 


Barely four million people. Sixty million sheep. That ought to give you an idea about how wild New Zealand is. Kiwis have always had a respect for their environment and it shows in the country’s vast system of national and local parks, preserved coastline, and renowned walking trails.

New Zealand’s two main islands offer an incredible array of activities. On the North Island, you can get to know native Maori culture, sail or dive in the Bay of Islands, or watch for whales off the eastern coast. The South Island boasts mountain peaks, rugged coastline, twin glaciers, and the inspiring fiords of Fiordland National Park. Both islands have wonderful place names—try saying “Whangamomona” three times fast—delicious wine, and legendary ice cream. Is it any wonder New Zealanders are so laid back?
