New Zealand

Middle Earth & Beyond

Fiordland's dramatic sounds, Milford Track, Hobbiton, geothermal Rotorua, and a Maori culture unlike any other.

New Zealand is the world's adventure capital — a land of breathtaking natural diversity compressed into two islands smaller than the UK. The South Island is home to the Southern Alps, Milford Sound (the 'Eighth Wonder of the World'), the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, and the Remarkables mountain range above Queenstown. Queenstown is adventure sports' global headquarters — bungee jumping, skydiving, whitewater rafting, and heli-skiing. The North Island has Rotorua's geothermal landscape, the glow-worm caves of Waitomo, the dramatic volcanic plateau of Tongariro, and the world-famous Hobbiton film set. The Maori culture — haka, carving, ta moko tattoo, and a living relationship with the land — gives New Zealand a spiritual depth unique in the Pacific. For Indian travellers, New Zealand offers world-class infrastructure, warm welcomes, and an adventure experience unmatched globally.
