NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests.  New Zealand is known as “Middle Earth” for its Lord of the Rings trilogy. New Zealand born Peter Jackson filmed the entire three films in various locations around New Zealand.  The rolling hills of Matamata became Hobbiton, while the volcanic region of Mt. Ruapehu transformed into the fiery Mt. Doom, and Queenstown, New Zealand's adventure capital, was the setting for numerous scenes including the Eregion Hills and the Pillars of Argonath.

Auckland (North Island):

Considered as an international gateway to New Zealand, Auckland is located in the northern region of the North Island of New Zealand. Called the 'City of Sails', Auckland is an irresistible aquatic playground and crosses an 8-mile wide volcanic isthmus separating two harbors. You're never far from breathtaking scenery and beaches, outstanding dining, great shopping and exciting nightlife. Suggested activities: Walk or ride to the summit of Rangitoto, the lava rock sleeping volcano in the middle of the Hauraki Gulf. Enjoy wine and olive tasting, lazing on the beach and art trails on laid back Waiheke Island, a 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland.  Spanning the Waitemata Harbour, the Auckland Harbour Bridge offers spectacular views of Auckland city and the islands of the gulf.  Auckland's temperate climate, easy access to the coast and variety of activities earn the city consistent top five rankings in international lifestyle surveys. Discover for yourself why it is one of New Zealand's best destinations.
