New Zealand's awesome landscapes, lush forests,
amazing wildlife and pleasant climate make it a haven
for many outdoor activities, and a great place to unwind.
New Zealand society is diverse, sophisticated, and multicultural,
and the honesty, friendliness, and openness of Kiwis will
impress you. And the great advantage of New Zealand is
that all of its diverse physical, cultural, and artistic
landscapes are so close to each other!
Tell
Us More
New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful landscape includes
vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines,
deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. Comparable
in size to Japan, New Zealand has a population of only
3.8 million - making it one of the world's least crowded
countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation
and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers
and adventurers. A temperate climate with relatively small
seasonal variation makes it an ideal year-round holiday
destination.

Our History
While New Zealand is a relatively young
country, it has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting
both our Maori and European heritage. Amazing Maori historic
sites and taonga (treasures), some dating back almost
a thousand years, are a contrast to many beautiful colonial
buildings. A walk around any New Zealand city today shows
what a culturally diverse and fascinating country we have
become. |
Getting To New Zealand
New Zealand is a two and a half hour flight from Eastern
Australia. From the West Coast of the United States, a
direct flight to New Zealand takes around 12 hours and
from Japan direct flights take around 11 hours. |
