Nestled deep in the South Pacific, New Zealand offers the visitor a sparkling, clean environment. New Zealand may only be a small country - the same size as Japan or Great Britain - but with a tiny population (3.6 million) if offers more space per capita than most holiday destinations of the world. From the majestic fjords and Alps in the south to the native forests and white sandy bays of the north, this is a land of awesome beauty.
A number of vigorous activities await the adventurous - hiking, skiing, rafting and, of course that perennial favourite, bungy jumping.
The people, bound in a culture that melds European and Maori ancestry, are resourceful, helpful and overwhelmingly friendly.
