“New Zealand invites you to reconnect with nature in its purest form. Explore countless walking trails that wind through ancient forests and alongside crystal-clear lakes. I highly recommend the Milford Sound, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” – its dramatic cliffs, lush greenery, and cascading waterfalls will leave you in awe!”

“The best way to experience the raw beauty of New Zealand’s winter is to venture into the snow-capped peaks of the South Island. From the challenging runs of Queenstown's Remarkables to the ever-popular Mount Hutt that has something for everyone – here, every descent is an adventure.”

"The Mackenzie Region is pure alpine magic, where glacial lakes, endless skies, and the majestic Aoraki / Mt Cook create a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. Driving beside Lake Pukaki with the Southern Alps ahead is unforgettable, and Lake Tekapo’s vivid blue and star-filled skies add to the sense of wonder. Staying at The Hermitage, nestled beneath Mt Cook, brings you right into the heart of it all. A personal highlight was a helicopter flight to the Tasman Glacier. Soaring above ancient ice and landing among the peaks was both exhilarating and humbling. It’s a place that invites stillness, awe, and a deep connection to nature, a truly special corner of Aotearoa."

"Northland is a breathtaking blend of natural beauty and coastal charm. Kerikeri’s historic Stone Store is set against lush landscapes, while nearby Waitangi offers serene surroundings. The picturesque town of Paihia, an incredible cruise port, providing access to stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush, rolling hills. Northland is a true cultural paradise for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility."

"Taupō is a quiet achiever on the North Island with just about every activity imaginable. Cruise on the lake, do a jet boat trip on the Waikato River and my special tip – do as the locals do and soak in the natural hot springs at the Otumuheke Stream.”

"Lovers of all things snow flock to Queenstown, with four world-class resorts to choose from. Ski or snowboard at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables, which are closest to town, or head over the Crown Range to Cardrona and Treble Cone. The choice of luxury accommodation and excellent restaurants in Queenstown is almost as wide as the array of things to do and see, from wine tasting to bungee jumping and everything in between.”
