New Zealand is renowned for its diverse natural beauty, with the country attracting millions of tourists each year. Picturesque mountain ranges, rolling pastures, trout-filled lakes and scenic beaches flow into one another, creating some of the best landscapes in the world. New Zealand has two main islands, North Island and South Island - both with their unique charm - and a number of smaller islands offshore. Although these smaller islands have a limited population, it is still possible to visit them by boat, spend some time with the indigenous locals and experience the stunning landscape.

Although known as the ‘Paradise of the Pacific’ for its natural beauty, New Zealand also has some great cities. Auckland is a modern cosmopolitan city with a culture rich in entertainment and nightlife, whereas Rotorua is a great place to visit for those wanting to experience Māori culture and see the wonders of the geysers, and relax in the hot pools.

New Zealand’s weather is somewhat difficult to predict because of its geological location, but it generally has a mild to warm climate. Temperatures for the main two islands varies between 11°C (52°F) in the winter to 24°C (75°F) in the summer, but be warned, the weather can change quickly so be prepared with a coat, even if it looks like glorious sunshine.

English and Māori are both official languages of New Zealand, with English being spoken by the majority of locals. Māori is spoken by the minority in New Zealand, usually by the Māori themselves and language learners. Some knowledge of Māori pronunciation may be useful when visiting the far north of the country.

There is plenty to see and do in New Zealand, but the majority of visitors go to see the stunning scenery and take part in outdoor activities. Mountains, lakes, volcanoes and geysers are spectacular, truly nature at its best, but don’t forget to check out New Zealand’s unique plant and animal life too.
