The promise of fabulous scenery is what brings most travelers to New Zealand, and it's hard to imagine anyone coming away disappointed. Dramatic views of steaming geysers, the island-strewn coast, crystal-clear fjords, and dense, ferny rain forests reveal themselves at every turn. You can fish, kayak, rock climb, and otherwise exert yourself on countless outdoor adventures. You can also simply take it easy, sipping wine made in local vineyards, soaking up the atmosphere at a Māori hangi (feast), or exploring cosmopolitan Auckland or prettily British Christchurch. The open-hearted Kiwi hospitality you find at every corner of this nation is an unexpected pleasure that adds a shine to every experience, however you spend your time.
