Natural Spectacles and Unique Wildlife

Recognised for its clean and green environment, New Zealand is made up of many beautiful landscapes – from vast mountain chains to grand volcanoes, and from sweeping coasts and expansive beaches to deep fiords, lush rainforests, grassy plains and rich thermal areas. From the fjords to beaches, there are plenty of opportunities to get up close with extraordinary wildlife. New Zealanders are lucky enough to share their home with fascinating creatures. There are plenty of opportunities to see them all year round – you might spot a family of dolphins following your boat, and it’s not unusual to see whales and orca within sight of Auckland or little blue penguins on Wellington’s city fringe.
