This is New Zealand

New Zealand has been welcoming the world for many, many decades – in the 19th century, the Māori people gained a reputation as particularly hospitable hosts – and its people know how to ensure visitors enjoy an unforgettable experience. From author Zane Grey’s books about the thrill of big game fishing in the Bay of Islands to Rudyard Kipling’s declaration that Milford Sound is the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, from A.J. Hackett and Henry van Asch putting Queenstown on the map as the ‘adventure capital of the world’ when they established the world’s first commercial bungy operation in 1988 to Sir Peter Jackson’s insistence on filming the world’s biggest films – The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies – in the unparalleled natural landscapes of New Zealand, this is a place that inspires, excites and reinvigorates.
