New Zealand in the southern hemisphere of the earth is a major adventure zone! With glaciers for the ice lovers, beaches for the sun lovers and wine tasting for the sommelier, there is so much to see and do. The destination is sure to bring out the best in you with these experiences.
Sure enough, you must be curious about Queensland. If you are you need to set out and find what you are looking for! If its adventure you are after, then how about some water sports like river rafting to get your adrenaline all pumped up? Not just this, but jet boat rides are also available. Speaking of getting an adrenaline rush, there is no better way than taking up the challenge of a bungee jump in the place in which it originated. If that isn't enough, there are beautiful trails for hiking and cycling, not to mention skiing too. After all that excitement, you might need to relax a little bit. The perfect way to do so would be on a wine tasting tour of course!
If you intend to fully relax and get a taste of everything local, you simply cannot miss out on some of the best wines in New Zealand. Filled with vineyards and olive groves, you can always enjoy a brief tour and check out what goes on in these places. Don't forget there's a whole lot of wine tasting coming along with it! Need some sun and fun? The beaches are always ready to give you just what you need. Waiheke island also boasts some fantastic art studios and hip cafes to hop into and enjoy something sweet with a brilliant coffee.
Into culture? Then the best experience you could ever have in New Zealand would be in Rotorua with the native people, the Maoris! You will be able to completely immerse yourself in the Maori culture with a visit to the cultural show. You are going to love this one! Once the show is done enjoy a local Hagi meal to fill up your stomach and hit the thermal hot pools for some relaxation. If you plan to visit, a stay at major hotel chains the likes of Minor Hotels will allow you to see the difference in the pure native culture and the modern influenced culture.
Brackish water run through the valley of high mountains with shades of green and brown for some colour, some even snow-capped for an extra bit of contrast. Sounds picturesque enough? The description speaks of the Milford Sound fjord a small distance away from Queensland. The best way to enjoy this would be to kayak across the waters and take in the most amazing sights before you. Even better than this is an overnight boat ride in the valley. Want to be a bit more daring? Dive into the mysterious waters and delight your eyes with the splendid view below as well.
If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, then you are sure to want to visit the movie set in Matamata. Ever since it's filming, the place has been called the home of Middle-earth. You are sure to relive the scenes of the movie as you explore the terrain.
