New Zealand
Description
New Zealand is a small country in size but it packs a punch in terms of the volume and diversity of landscapes, activities and opportunities for exploration. The ideal vacation to New Zealand would allow you ample time to explore the whole country, including the North Island and the South Island. New Zealand’s South Island usually steals the attention, but the oft-overlooked North Island also features a sublime combination of forests, mountains and beaches.
