Land of the long white cloud
New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud and famed for its legendary Kia Ora (Welcome) instantly makes you feel at home. You can visit the film set of The Lord of the Rings in Middle-earth, hike in the alpine Southern Alps or its various rainforests, enjoy world-class fly fishing, soak up Maori culture, go hot air ballooning over the vineyards of both islands or heli-ski on remote pristine slopes. Dive off your boat into a sea filled with wild dolphins.
Take to the skies in your own private helicopter and visit Nelson’s vineyards, where you can sip and sample a variety of their finest wines and then fly over the Marlborough Sound, land on a rugged reef and try your hand at fishing. On a quiet beach, you can have your personal chef prepare your catch. Finish the day soaring above the Nelson ranges, landing on the mountains, where you toast to a truly memorable day.
After doing all of this you will then have to return to do all the things you missed out on, as no one trip is ever long enough to see and experience all of New Zealand.
