Things to do in New Zealand

Waipoua Forest
New Zealand is known for its magnificent landscapes and outdoor pursuits and although its cities offer plenty to see and do, its soul belongs to the wilderness. A cruise around Milford and Doubtful Sounds allows you to enjoy peaceful Fiordland from the water, while in Kaikoura we suggest one of the award-winning whale watching tours. Discover New Zealand鈥檚 geothermal activity in Rotorua, which is also a great place to immerse yourself in M膩ori culture at the Mitai M膩ori Night.

If you're seeking more action, try an exhilarating jet boat trip along the Dart River in Queenstown, the self-proclaimed 鈥榓dventure capital of the world鈥, where numerous adrenaline-fuelled experiences are on offer.
