Visit Auckland

A Maori family under a violent father in South Auckland; the film that shook New Zealand.

Visit Christchurch, the largest city in New Zealand's South Island. Explore the Botanic Gardens (established in 1863 with native and exotic plants), see the Cardboard Cathedral (temporary cathedral built after the 2011 earthquake using cardboard tubes), ride the Christchurch Gondola (offering panoramic views of the city and Lyttelton Harbour), and stroll through the Riverside Market (indoor food hall with local produce and eateries).

Visit Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand. Experience bungee jumping at the Kawarau Bridge (the world's first commercial bungee site), ski or snowboard at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables, take a scenic cruise on Lake Wakatipu to see the stunning alpine scenery, and explore the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown.

Visit Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, the longest place name in the world, located in New Zealand. This Māori name translates to 'the summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who traveled about, played his nose flute to his loved one'. It's a hill near Porangahau in Hawke's Bay, standing about 305 meters high, and offers scenic rural views.

The Edinburgh of the south: the steepest street in the world, albatrosses and yellow-eyed penguins on the peninsula.

Rebuilt entirely in Art Deco after the 1931 earthquake, in the Hawke’s Bay wine region.

The sunniest city, craft beer and the gateway to the golden beaches of Abel Tasman.

The lone tree in the lake, the Roys Peak hike and the quieter alternative to Queenstown.
