Discover New Zealand

The country where the critically acclaimed Lord of the Rings movie series and many others were filmed features some of the most gorgeous scenery on the planet. Mountaintops that stretch into the sky, lush forests as green as the eye can see, and clear blue waters make New Zealand any adventurists’ dreamscape.

Where You Want to Go: What New Zealand has to offer

Travelers will be enthralled by Queenstown for hours of day and nighttime fun. From the ever-popular bungee jumping scene to out-of-this-world food to a nightlife atmosphere like no other, Queenstown is bound to keep you entertained for much longer than planned. Likewise, an outdoor excursion to Hike Franz Josef Glacier will test your physical strength and adventure-seeking spirit, especially since part of the journey means going through a series of glacier tunnels!

Fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise cannot deny the coolness factor of visiting Tongariro Crossing, the filming site for the legendary Mordor stronghold. Pack the essentials though, as this hiking trip will take a full day to complete. Last but certainly not least, finish your vacation by skydiving over Lake Taupo; a 14,000-foot plunge over a breathtaking landscape is Kodak-moment approved!

Use the public bus system (advance reservations on the Naked Bus are under $1 thanks to promotional fares), and keep inner-country flights to a minimum. New Zealand country tours are extremely expensive, so plan your itinerary carefully to avoid budget pitfalls!
