New Zealand Vacation Packages

One of the best representations of what New Zealand has to offer, is Auckland. Located on the north side of the north island, Auckland is full of world-class shopping, restaurants, bars, galleries and natural wonders. Plus, there’s an endless variety of activities to explore throughout the surrounding area. These activities include dolphin spotting in the Hauraki Gulf and Islands, hiking though the native rainforest in West Auckland and drinking in the rich history and gorgeous landscapes of South Auckland.

When most people think of New Zealand, they think of awe-inspiring landscapes. And they’d be right. This spectacular terrain spans the geographical gamut with everything from gorgeous glaciers, fiords, rugged mountains, expansive plains, rolling hillsides, subtropical forests, volcanic plateaus and miles of sandy coastline. It includes natural wonders like Cathedral Cove, Queen Charlotte Sound and amazing sights like the Kauri Cliffs and the redwood forest of Whakarewarewa. While the North Island has a monstrous mountain range running through the middle, along with gentle rolling farmland and volcanic and thermal areas, the South Island is home to the massive Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains. The Southern Alps have a number of stunning glaciers including the massive Tasman glacier and the famous Franz Josef and Fox glaciers.

If you’re looking for an exciting journey, then New Zealand’s looking for you. With excursions ranging from heart-stopping zip-lining and skydiving, to awe-inspiring caving, rafting and backpacking, New Zealand was made for adventure. If it’s your first time in New Zealand, bungee jumping is usually considered an adrenaline junkie’s first rite of passage. And remember, the best way to navigate this expansive wilderness is through the off-road driving trails.

While New Zealand isn’t internationally known for their food or wine, they should be. Consider it our little secret. The local farmer’s markets, cooking classes, food and wine events, wineries, breweries and delicious restaurants are all a foodie’s dream. And while the local people of New Zealand may be called “Kiwis,” a single fruit doesn’t do justice to describe their delicious delicacies. Locals enjoy seafood, roast lamb, Maori hangi (a traditional way of steaming meats and vegetables beneath the ground), fish and chips, and sweets like chocolate-covered marshmallow fish. There are also a surprising number of vineyards to tour in places like Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago, and a variety of breweries and beer festivals that have a flavor all their own.

Since the first “Lord of the Rings” movie was released in 2001, New Zealand has come to be known as the home of Middle-Earth. So if you’re a fan of the movies, you’ll be completely starstruck by the Hobbiton tours that guide you through the real-life movie set of the films. Even if you’ve never seen the movies, the golden plains, towering mountains and enchanting valleys of the more than 150 shooting locations are sure to completely take your breath away (and may even convince you to become a fan).
