The South Island

New Zealand's South Island is quite literally heaven for the thrill seeker. Birthplace of the bungy jump, the diverse landscape of this Pacific paradise offers an endless array of adventures that cannot be matched anywhere else.

Heli-skiing, white-water rafting and para-gliding abound in this country that many call the adventure capital of the world.

For those who like to approach life at a more sedate place, there is plenty to offer also. Visiting the breathtaking Milford Sound, sampling world-class wines in Otago and Marlborough or simply relaxing in a luxurious lodge are all options within easy reach.

New Zealand

For two consecutive years New Zealand has been chosen as the top visitor destination by the highly respected Lonely Planet guide.

And for good reason, because despite it's relatively small size, this country certainly has an almost endless number of attractions, activities and world-class accommodation to entice international visitors.

Renowned internationally for its sporting prowess and ingenuity, New Zealand is also a country of unspoilt, natural beauty.

From volcanic plateaus to glaciers and thousands of acres of virgin rainforest, the country is also home to a diverse range of native wildlife and fauna.
