If you were trying to find a country that stands out as the most beautiful range of natural beauty, New Zealand would definitely be at the top of the list. Between its soft beaches and majestic mountain peaks, between lush forests and crystal clear lakes, New Zealand won’t have to convince you twice to go exploring. Let’s take a walk through this amazing destination through our eyes.
Roaming the Golden Beaches
Our travel adventure begins on the North Island, where golden beaches and a calm sea coast await us. We visit Piha Beach, known for its striking black sandstone and the imposing Lion Rock. Her wild beauty is an extraordinary introduction to what lies ahead.
Green charm
We continue to explore the rainforests that surround the coast. The forests are full of lush greenery, offering beautiful scenes and unforgettable moments. The Waitakere Ranges Nature Park is a true discovery for nature lovers, offering a network of hiking trails that lead through ancient kauri forests, gorges with waterfalls and views of the Tasman Sea.
Magnificent Aoraki / Mount Cook
The route leads us to the South Island, where the highest mountain of New Zealand rises, Aoraki / Mount Cook. Even if you’re not an experienced mountaineer, you can enjoy views of snow-capped peaks while hiking through Hooker Valley. Surrounded by mountains, we admire glacial lakes with glacial floating glaciers surrounded by wild alpine flowers.
Fiordland landscape
On the western side of the South Island lies the stunning Fiordland landscape. Milford Sound, one of the most beautiful fjords, boasts high, steep cliffs rising from murky waters where dolphins happily swim. Hiking trails such as the world-famous Milford Track take you through some of the world’s most beautiful wilderness.
Remains of ancient civilizations
A visit to New Zealand is not complete without an in-depth insight into Maori culture, which is the heart and soul of this country. A trip to the center of Maori culture in Rotorua in the North Island is a necessary part of the trip. Here you can learn about the history, customs and lifestyle of New Zealand’s original inhabitants, while enjoying the thermal baths and volcanic landscapes.
Queenstown Adventure
To end the trip, we go to Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand. Queenstown is located on the edge of Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by the mighty Remarkables mountain range. Here you can experience everything from hiking, cycling, rafting, bungee jumping to skiing and snowboarding.
