AUTHENTIC NEW
ZEALAND EXPERIENCES
NEW ZEALAND WELCOMES YOU James Mitchener considered New Zealand to be ‘probably the most beautiful country on earth. Here earth and ocean mingle in astonishing beauty, varied, twisted, glowing in sunlight.’ New Zealand is the youngest country in the world but its landscapes are millions of years old and its coastline of more than 15,000kms provides a contrast between the lush landscapes, rivers, fiords and mountain ranges. Our unique playground runs from the far north at Cape Reinga to the far south in Bluff and beyond to Stewart Island. It could be deep-sea fishing in the famed Bay of Islands, trout fishing in a remote river of the central North Island, jet boating the Shotover River in beautiful Queenstown, heli-skiing, heli-biking, or taking a walk in, or flying over, a World Heritage park, a round of golf at a luxury resort, or relaxing with some of the finest cuisine and wine the world has to offer. New Zealand has it all. Welcome to our country.

AUCKLAND – CITY OF SAILS Auckland has a world-class reputation as a city of sailors. There are more boats in Auckland per head of population than any other city in the world. The Hauraki Gulf marine area is a jewel in Auckland’s crown and it can be enjoyed from on the water, or the air. Auckland was recently recognised as one of the world’s most livable cities and at the World Travel Awards was recognised as Australasia’s best travel destination. Auckland has a global reputation as a centre of marine excellence including the design, build and refit of superyachts, luxury launches and racing yachts. Select NZ can plan a customised itinerary for you to experience the attractions of this cosmopolitan city including visiting the iconic Auckland Museum, the city Art Gallery, private wine and art tours, spectacular views from the volcanic cones, Waiheke Island and its international award-winning wines and fine cuisine.
