Visit the stunning landscapes of Fiordland National Park and discover Milford Sound, explore the rolling hills of the South Island on a hike, relax in the hot springs of Rotorua, tour the vineyards of Marlborough, learn about Maori culture in Rotorua or the Northland, and enjoy the vibrant cities of Wellington and Auckland.
