If you're looking for a place to spark your creativity, go no further than New Zealand. A land steeped in mystery, Māori legend, and enchanted landscapes. The kind of nation where you can go surfing in the morning and skiing in the afternoon or even hike on a glacier!
In general, New Zealand's ease of entry is one of its best features. In this untamed area, the best vistas are accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy and well-off.
This is especially evident in the Bay of Islands' verdant environment. It is important to keep in mind that a part of New Zealand's North Island is hiding some of the country's most interesting & important historical monuments, and it feels like a luxurious sanctuary with pristine beaches and isolated inlets.
Hire a boat and a kayak and explore this beautiful area at your own pace or opt to explore Piercy Island and its famous "Hole in the Rock" by kayak, or venture into the waters around New Zealand in search of the country's abundant marine life.
Only 600 years ago did the volcano on the island of Rangitoto in New Zealand erupt from the ocean. This island is a nature preserve where only local birds can be found thriving in their natural environment.
You may take advantage of the island's numerous hiking trails, including the most well-known summit route, thanks to the frequent boat service that brings visitors there. The stunning 360-degree views of Auckland & its islands are worth the challenge of this short, steep trail.
Taking the sunset guided kayak tour is a one-of-a-kind way to see Rangitoto Island. After seeing the sun go down from the peak, you'll paddle back across Waitemata Harbour in the dark.
As a major day trip destination, Waiheke Island is easily accessible by ferry from Auckland. Visitors return year after year to sample the island's award-winning wines, despite the fact that the island's beaches are impressive in their own right.
The island's reputation as a paradise for wine enthusiasts is well-deserved; it features approximately 30 vineyards in its relatively small area of 92 square kilometres.
The best part about being in New Zealand is that there are plenty of hotel brands such as those under the Minor Hotels so you can easily coordinate a visit to the vineyard from one of their nearest accommodations.
Although well-known among gardeners, the general public may be unaware of the award-winning Hamilton Gardens. Their uniqueness lies in the intricate concepts behind their creation. It's like taking a trip around the world, but much more doable, to stroll through the gardens.
Hobbiton is not just one of the most well-liked tourist destinations throughout the North Island, but also in all of New Zealand. Where else can one enter a film set and feel as though they have been transported to the genuine Middle Earth? Expend some time and energy exploring the Shire, the actual filming location used during The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit movies. The time you spend here will be well spent, as much care has been put into creating this enchanted country as real as possible.
